Banks Power 42142-D Ram-Air Cold-Air Intake System Dry Filter 06-07 Chevy/GMC 6.6L LLY/LBZ
Increased power and fuel economy, while reducing exhaust gas temps and sooty, black smoke. Exclusive 5 inch bellows accommodates engine movement and prevents component damage.
The Banks Ram-Air Intake System delivers exceptional airflow and air density. Its large cotton gauze air filter requires fewer cleanings than competitive filters (stock's small paper filter is not reusable). With its giant 7-1/8" outlet, streamlined components and enclosed cold-air box that keeps hot engine air out of the intake, the Ram-Air flows up to 48% better than stock. Improves power and fuel economy; lowers exhaust gas temps and reduces black smoke. (An indicator of unburned fuel, black smoke is power you can see but not use!)
We measured each intake’s effect on air density at the turbo compressor inlet. Intake temperatures will generally be higher than ambient conditions, but the more the system can duct cool air to the filter and preserve the cool temperature as the air is ducted to the turbo, the higher the air density will be. In addition, there will commonly be a pressure drop as air travels through the filter and the ducting due to any restriction that is introduced. If the design of the system can minimise the restriction and the pressure loss, air density will be preserved.

Prop 65 Warning
CALIFORNIA WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
One of the most commonly asked questions in our service center is, “How do I clean my air filter?” In this tutorial, we explain the differences between oiled and dry filters, as well as how to clean and re-oil them. We’ve even created a free re-oiling calculator so you know precisely how much oil to use. You'll come across people online complaining about oil filters caking up their MAF sensor located in their air intake tube. This occurs only when filters are improperly oiled. In this video, we’ll show you the right way to do it so this doesn't occur. If properly cared for, your Ram-Air filter element should last years and years.
