About This Product
Beats stock and the competition. New over-sized filter element protects engine and outflows competition. Enclosed housing keeps out hot, power-robbing engine air. Reduces soot output, decreasing the frequency between regens.
Fitment Note
Combine with the Derringer inline tuner for a total gain of 81 hp. Does not work with Banks Intake Resonator Delete.
Specifications
Add an additional +20 hp to your 2017-2019 Duramax. Or, combine with the Derringer inline tuner for a total gain of 81 hp. Beats stock and the competition. New over-sized filter element, largest in its class, protects engine and outflows competition. Enclosed housing keeps out hot, power-robbing engine air. More airflow increases the air-fuel ratio allowing the engine to run more lean, reducing soot output, decreasing the frequency between regens.
Why It's Better
Banks Ram-Air versus stock.
The factory air filter housing has little room for air to flow around the filter.
The Banks Ram-Air housing has a larger inlet and ballistic-shaped nose, which encourage the reusable air filter to freely inhale for more power.

Reviews
Engine breathes better
"Can hear a little bit more engine from the ram air cruising and much more during hard acceleration. . also gained a few mpg while towing and not towing. Between intake and monster exhaust gained 2-3 might towing and a little over 5 mpg while cruising. Thanks BANKS team"
Massive filter
"What a filter! Combined with the Turbo inlet gives it that sudden movement that you want off idle. The whistle is more noticeable but not annoying. I like it."
New Life to an Old Motor
"My 2017 Denali HD Dually has 218k miles on it. Just installed the Ram Air tonight and took it out for a drive. Not that the truck was a slouch before - it's a beast - but the throttle response with the new set up is much better than stock and the power delivery is smoother. Highly recommend it!"
Just get one
"Best intake on the market"
Should be the stock option.
"So much better than the one I bought for my last truck. Will always use banks for cold air. Easy to install, got 2 MPG more along with power and better noise on my 19 Chevy 2500. This and the offset MAP sensor are both necessary for that truck!"
Love it helps to make
"Love it helps to make the truck sound like a truck just ordered the hot and cold side intercooler pipes will write when I get it on thanks Brian from upstate NY good job banks"
Grate

Nice upgrade
"Easy install, less then half hour, noticeable difference immediately, well made and thought out"
Installed easy, works well.
"Installed easy, works well."
