High Ram intake
 
who is running one, notice any real difference. i am thinking hard about one basically just think they look cool but if do as advertized would help feeding air for future mods.

I think that's the main reason people put one on. Once you start getting into the high hp stuff, that's when you'll notice a difference - but still not much of a difference from what I have read. There's a member that is making some that also have 4 plugs for adding accessories to it. You might talk to some of the sponsors & see what they have to offer.

I have one because my 05 had a plastic intercooler so I picked up a technicooler. If I were going to buy an aftermarket intake it would be the ATS. I just can't get over the thoughts that I have Banks part on my truck. LOL

I have the Banks High ram. You will notice fast spool up of turbo and some power increase on the top end. When you take off your old horn and compare it to the banks you will see how restricted the stock horn is. So if you like the look of it. Buy one. But if you are looking for a mod that will give you some increased power right away. Buy something else like a cold air intake. You will notice power increase and they look cool. I like my racers edge.

Very colorful under my hood

In my honest opinion it's all for looks... For the REAL horsepower guy who need it, it doesn't even have ports to inject. The best thing you can do to one is what AK RAM did.... Let me dig up a picture.

that banks red looks good next to the cummins logo. a picture is worh a thousand words i am sold. i do not think it is priced any higher than the others, i just take their salesman like all aothers, with a grain of salt.

This is the best thing you can do... (grind the banks off so when your pop your hood people don't assume you have a 6 gun on it) [laugh] [tapdshut]

AK RAM, I didn't think you would mind if I used a picture from under your hood. One of the nicest pictures out there IMO.

I am going to go with the CFM intake. Seems to allow the most airflow and looks cool!! [coffee]

Luken 10-31-2006 02:32 PM

Post up a picture of one so tcb can see it!

You mean, you don't have one of those under your hood ? [laugh]

rustyshakelford 10-31-2006 06:00 PM

if you really want one, get a ATS. why? becuase they come pre-drilled and tapped for water/meth if you want to do that later and they arent banks!!!

BigDave12768 10-31-2006 10:35 PM

Trust me I am one of the few Banks guys on this site. But I would recomend getting an Airbox first. You are still limited to your stock airflow coming in. Why upgrade the horn first. Get an Airbox!!!!! Trust me I own the Banks High ram. It will do nothing with out first allowing more air in.
