What are your opinions on the banks twin ram air intake? Is it a mod worth the money. What kind of results are you getting from this mod? Thanks input is needed.

 

On the 12v's, yes, get it. So I've been told.

 

I had the banks power pack put on years ago, I have no complaints, it wasn't cheap. I'm at 335hp, works for me. I'm sure some guys will comment on getting as much or more for less money.

 

Dual ram air? I know Scotty is dual pick up but I can't say I've seen this setup before, anybody have a link?

 

I have heard you lose power with it.

 

I've heard that about the 24v high ram intake from banks, but I've heard most gain power on the 12v's.

 

I had a thread on it and got pretty bad reviews

I guess folks with twin turbos are still running the stock intake and seen no gain with the banks

it is a bit pricey also


just what Ive heard in the past here @ DTR I did a little research and opted out on it .

 

With the Twin High Ram Air. You will have more volume of air going into the motor. Its really hard to feel the difference. me personally I wouldnt waste money on it but some people say that actually work. I have installed quite a few of them and I think they just allow you to have a few (maybe1-2) more psi. EGT's stay the same. Throttle response says teh same. Turbo is lil louder. But personally I wouldnt get it. But thats your choice.

Hope this helped a lil.

As Blue stated above, they are different critters with respect to the 12 versus 24 valve engines.

From what I understand as well, you got 12 valves get it. You got 24 valves, don't.

FWIW - I didn't on my 99 and won't on this one either.

Thanks for everyones input I will stay away from the twin intake. If you really look at it 3x the price of a #10 plate and no big advantages. Thanks all again.

 

I think you would be better to spend your money on a ats exhuast manifold and a #10 plate!

 

Too bad because I love the way they look

 

Well, I'm pretty pleased with mine. Not too long after I had the banks power pack installed I had engine problems. Yes the kdp problem. It took some talking but the repair was covered by the warranty thats to a great salesman that went to bat for me and a great dealership that I have now purchased four vehicles from.
