Reviews

Ram air

"It took a while to get my ram air and when I called to find out what was going on I got a good explanation and a discount which I appreciated greatly when I received my ram air it was in a box sighed by Gail banks thank you Gail for you responsiveness. beyond the logistics issue I was happy with the product also easy to install and a marked increase in performance"

— Geven P. (5/5)

Banks performance is #1

"I have multiple Banks products on my 18 Ram 3500 DRW. . I can definitely hear a difference now that I installed the Ram Air"

— Dennis P. (5/5)

Build is nice, fit is great. Couple cons

"Not sure if this unit is sold with the clamp at the turbo as pictured but i was surprised that there wasn’t one. Replacement filters are salty. Those of you who choose to oil, buy an extra so one is always ready. I prefer a dry element so i have the pre filter sock on the way to lengthen the filter life between changes. That said, I knew the cost of the filter at purchase and I’m willing to pay it for banks quality. The missing turbo clamp tho…Banks guys, don’t picture it if it’s not included."

— Kent E. (4/5)

Good product but you could have done better for su

"Super easy to install, it definitely lacks securement/alignment on the passenger side, all the holes and everything you have to transfer over was spot on though. The 1 thing that isn't good that I had to replace was the tube for it to meet at the turbo turbine the banks one would not work for me. been installed now for 3 years give or take if it fit like perfection I would have given 5 stars."

— Brant F. (4/5)

Great product however there is

"Great product however there is some difficulty with install. There is very little room for pipe adjustment and does take some extra time to get it fitted perfectly. Also I had to shave about 3/16 off the hole in airbox to allow the factory door actuator to open and close properly. Original install tripped a p-code for diesel air intake “a” sensor and later diagnostic showed the actuator door way out of range/value. Not a big deal but coupled with the difficulty of getting it installed the first time it caused a lot cussing having to remove it and do it again."

— Thomas L. (4/5)

More horse power faster response

"More horse power faster response better gas mileage and smoother running."

— Craig H. (5/5)

Definately a tight fit. Lots

"Definately a tight fit. Lots of cheap plastic, could have been stream lined a lot. Between this and the monster ram I lost 1mpg on interstate travel"

— Joshua K. (3/5)

Breathability

"Makes the turbo sound louder. Better filtration and efficiency."

— Robert s. (5/5)

Banks Ram air

"The truck runs noticeably better, I wish it was designed that you could service air filter from top without having to pull it all apart"

— James M. (4/5)

Perfect Fit

"Great addition to the truck. Love Banks products."

— Brandon B. (5/5)

Q&A

Trying to install my monster Ram air intake, my Ram active air door and actuator are stuck. I cannot get them apart without breaking something. What’s should my next course of action be? I really can’t afford a new bottom assembly just to take it apart for the door and actuator being you can’t buy them separately. Please help
We haven't seen this issue before, give us a call and we'll set you up with a live technician to troubleshoot it.
Does both the dry and oiled filter fit the air box, or are the air boxes designed for only one filter each?
Both the oiled and dry filters are the same dimensions.
Can I still pass smog in California with the banks cold air i take for 2017 ram 2500
Yes, for the 42255 intake, it's a 50-state-compliant intake system. EO# D-161-134
Can you explain the difference and or benefits to the oiled and or dry filter. Why choose one over the other and explain, I want to ad one but I want the best option.
An oiled filter, instead of having five layers of filtration, you only need two or three because you are using oil to help capture debris and fill in the gaps of the filter. With dry filters, they use four to five layers to capture debris and filtration. Between the two, they capture almost the same amount of debris. The flow performance difference between the two is about 3%. The red filter will flow slightly more because it has a thinner filter medium. The oiled (red) filter can go up to 30k-40k miles before it has to be serviced (dry is about 25k miles). Either filter will last until about 100k miles.
Does the Oiled filter in the kit come pre-oiled and ready to use? I could not find any mention of it in the packaging or the instructions.
Yes, all oiled filters come pre-oiled and ready to use.
