When Banks engineers set out to design a Ram-Air intake for the 2017-19 Ford 6.7L Super Duty, they had one seemingly impossible challenge: to achieve higher air density at the turbo inlet than all competitors while keeping the airbox in the stock location behind the battery. As Power Stroke owners know, the battery is located near the front corner of the engine bay. This means air must pass above and/or below the battery to the airbox behind it. One of the competitors chose to relocate the battery by having the customer attach a piece of supplied angle-iron to the thin firewall, cantilevering it over the engine. In our opinion, the battery is much too heavy and poses a danger if it were to break loose and fall. After all, many trucks see off-road conditions. These requirements would set our Mechanical Engineering team on a year-long mission of design, research and development, and on and off-road testing.
Banks Ram-Air Intake Systems deliver. The harder you work your truck, the more Banks Ram-Air Intake improves power and fuel economy! It replaces the factory’s highly dense paper filter with a giant lifetime filter that flows more freely. Its aerodynamic shape eliminates restrictions and works seamlessly with the stock sensors to not generate trouble codes.
Banks Ram-Air accommodates engine movement, which protects the components and extends service life. Unlike the stock filter, the giant Banks Ram-Air filter is reusable as well as easy to install and access for monitoring and cleaning.
