Banks Ram-Air: Cooler Outside Air, Real Power

When the intake pulls hot underhood air, density drops, restriction goes up, and power leaves with it.

- Feeds cooler outside air instead of hot underhood air.
- Reduced intake restriction helps the engine breathe harder.
- Denser air supports stronger horsepower and torque gains.
- Built for gas and diesel truck applications.
- Outflows stock and competing intake designs.

The point of the Banks Ram-Air Intake System is simple: get the engine a cooler, denser air charge with less restriction than a stock or open underhood intake can deliver. That improves engine breathing, which is why this system is positioned around real power instead of intake noise. In this spot, we call out gains of up to 39 horsepower and 69 lb-ft of torque, along with airflow that beats the competition by up to 22% and stock by up to 48%. For a truck owner, that means the intake is doing the job that matters—supplying outside air and reducing inlet restriction so the engine can make more of the power it already wants to produce.

Transcript

1. Ram-Air System Overview

The video introduces Banks Ram-Air as a new intake system for gas and diesel trucks. Its stated purpose is to force cooler, denser outside air into the engine to support long-lasting performance rather than relying on inflated power claims.

2. Claimed Power Gains

Banks says the Ram-Air system can add up to 39 horsepower and 69 lb-ft of torque. The presentation contrasts this with competitors that merely claim power, arguing that Banks focuses on producing measurable results.

3. Airflow Performance

A central claim is that the Ram-Air system improves airflow substantially over both competing systems and the factory intake. According to the video, it outflows the competition by as much as 22% and exceeds stock airflow by as much as 48%.

4. Cooler Denser Outside Air

The engineering premise behind the system is straightforward: drawing in cooler, denser outside air can improve engine breathing and support better performance. The recap emphasizes that the Ram-Air design is built around this airflow and air-density advantage.

5. Vehicle-Specific Design

Banks describes the Ram-Air system as designed specifically for each truck application rather than as a universal intake. The video frames this vehicle-specific approach as part of how the system achieves its airflow and performance targets.

6. Race-Proven Development

The system is presented as race proven, suggesting that its design and performance claims are informed by testing in demanding conditions. This point is used to reinforce the idea that the product is engineered for durability as well as power.

7. Supported Truck Platforms

Banks states that Ram-Air applications are available for Ford, Dodge, GM, and now Jeep. The addition of Jeep is presented as an expansion of the product line alongside the established truck platforms.

8. Availability Information
