6.7L Cummins Forum

Well I really like Banks products. I have a Banks on my Titan so this Intake is appealing since I'm trying to decide which Banks DPF back exhaust I want, traditional or dual out.



The only thing that bugs me about this intake is it's not a dry filter. I really, really, like the dry filters like the Volant on the Titan. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I really do like the system and I bet I could find a dry Nano fibre filter that would fit................

They have it here. Banks Power Ram-Air Intake System #42175 - BP42175

I guess the jury is still out on 'wet or dry' filters. Currently i am still a fan of wet, The dry ones are very limited in the configurations at this time. I have seen great results with wet as well as many problems created by them. I have no issues with the K&N on the 96, I have never bought a replacement filter for it. it now has over 170 K in it. But I do see some issue with a turbo with an over serviced filter, an oil residue and dust or an air leak that causes it to stick to balanced parts. I have not decided what I want to get for mine yet, the prices are unreasonable and the actual test results don't show a tremenous improvement on MPG or power. Servicablility would be the only reason to get on until some one comes out with an proven unit. I under stand there is a K&N drop in for the 6.7's, (It's a wet filter). good luck and keep us informed.

Sounds good. It's always nice for people to be able to get an idea of the install and outcome before they buy. I posted this in the new member area, I hope it helps. How to submit Pictures in Your Post.

just got done installing the banks ram air kit. The instructions where easy as pie to follow and the pics in it wheere very detailed and labeled nice, with arrows and definitions pointing every where. Cant say on the mpg improvements yet but i will be thru the first tank on it by monday. the first test drive was nothing but me grinning at the sound of the turbo spooling up. with the mbrp 5" pipe out back i could hear the whin from under the hood and out the back. when the jake kicked on the turbo scream was amazing. i can definatly feel the power that this gave me but i havent romped on it yet, maybe in the morn on the way to work. i don twant to get into it to much since it took over 140.00 for 30 gallons to fill up....

Here's a Banks link doing a comparison between other manufacturers. I like Banks attention to ambient temp prior to the turbo. That's the real gain in my opinion. BUT I still want outside verification of their claims!!!

Banks Power | 07-11 Dodge - 6.7L Cummins>>Banks Ram-Air® Intake System

did you put a super scoop on it? TAP....TAP.....Tap.... Okay already, what was your MPG?

Banks used a 5.9L for the test. They also didn't say if the Volant used had the nano fiber filter along with the Volant scoop or if it was the older filter with no scoop.

I would tend to say the Volant didn't have the scoop.

I just put the Banks CAI and Super scoop on my 07 2500.....Big difference in performance and power. I am taking a road trip to GA next week so I will let you all know what kind of increase in highway mileage once I am able to report back.

but so far I have noticed that my truck DOES accelerate faster, turbo spools up much quicker.

I am liking it thus far. I will have some pictures soon, as I can, unfortunately I didnt get any while putting everything together....Sorry....but it is better looking then the stock system, and opens up a bit of room under the hood.

Have a goood one gents!!
