Banks Power 42145-D Ram-Air Cold-Air Intake System Dry Filter 03-07 Dodge 5.9L
Banks Ram-Air Superiority. Flowbench developed, dyno proven. Improves airflow up to 62%; Enclosed cold-air box with exclusive 4-1/2" bellows to accommodate engine movement. Cooler temps, less smoke and more MPG.
Banks' revolutionary Ram-Air Intake System offers the reliability and durability of a factory intake yet delivers astonishing airflow. It flows up to 62% better than stock and outflows Volant and AIRAID, thanks in part to the Ram-Air's huge filter area (fewer filter cleanings!), giant outlet, and the complete air filter housing with large side & bottom inlets. Banks Ram-Air collects & directs more power-producing cool, dense air to the engine, lowering EGTs and smoke and improving fuel economy, too! The cotton gauze filter traps the most dirt and debris. And Ram-Air is the only aftermarket intake with 4-1/2" bellows to accommodate engine movement. This prevents component damage and promotes reliable service life.
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 minimize 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.
