Construction & Design
The Banks Ram-Air Intake features a robust construction with an enclosed housing that shields the intake air from the heat generated by the engine bay. This design ensures the intake draws in cooler ambient air, which is denser and richer in oxygen, critical for optimal combustion. The large 4-1/2 inch bellows section is an aftermarket exclusive that allows the intake to flex with engine movement, reducing stress on components and preventing premature wear.
The oversized dome-shaped oiled filter is engineered for maximum airflow while maintaining excellent filtration efficiency, protecting your engine from harmful contaminants. Every component is precision-engineered and manufactured to meet Banks Power’s high standards for durability and performance.
Performance & Sound
By delivering significantly more cool, dense air to the turbocharger inlet, the Banks Ram-Air Intake enhances combustion efficiency, resulting in improved throttle response and increased power output. The reduction in exhaust gas temperatures also contributes to better engine longevity and cleaner emissions. While primarily focused on performance and efficiency, the intake’s design may also produce a subtle, deeper induction sound that enhances the driving experience without being intrusive.
Installation & Fitment
The Banks Ram-Air Cold Air Intake is designed for a direct fit on 2010–2012 Dodge and RAM 2500/3500 trucks with the 6.7L Cummins engine. Installation is straightforward and requires no permanent modifications, making it accessible for experienced DIY enthusiasts or professional installers. The system includes all necessary hardware and detailed instructions to ensure a smooth and secure installation process.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
