Description

The Banks Power 47172 Ram-Air Intake System for your GM 6.6L Duramax is engineered to deliver cool, dense air to your engine helping with power, fuel economy, and overall engine efficiency. Designed using a proven test-first approach, this intake system focuses on airflow, air density, and long-term reliability without triggering fault or error codes.

Proven Engineering & Testing
  • Designed in CAD software and analyzed through airflow simulations
  • Validated on a flowbench after hardware prototyping
  • Tested on-vehicle in real-world conditions
  • Density-tested against stock intakes

Banks Ram-Air is designed to:
  • Duct cooler outside air into the system
  • Minimize restriction and pressure loss
  • Preserve air density as air travels to the turbo
Its enclosed cold-air housing, large inlet, and streamlined internal design help prevent hot engine-bay air from robbing power.

Built for Real-World Use:
Banks-exclusive 5-inch bellows allows the intake to flex with engine movement, helping prevent component damage and extending service life, an often overlooked detail in the intake design.

Features:
  • Helps engine run cool
  • Outflows stock up to 47%
  • Prevents component damage
  • Accommodates engine movement
  • Extensively tested & validated
  • Reduces exhaust gas temps (EGTs)
  • Giant filter maximizes high-flow filtration
  • Inhales cooler outside air for more power & MPG
  • Extends service life and requires fewer cleanings
  • Enclosed housing keeps out hot, power-robbing engine air
Manufacturer Warranty*:
5 Year Limited

Excellent product. Adds amazing torque and the HP isn't a huge increase but noticeable. Total install took about 1Hr and very easy at that!

This is one of Banks best products from my experience. I have experimented with Airaid systems and various other systems in the past. This system provides the best MPG and Horsepower. I recommend this to anyone wanting an increase in MPG and Horsepower. I don't recommend the Banks monster exhaust though.Use this Banks Ram Air with a Magnaflow XL DPF back and the Quadzilla Stealth II Tuner for the ultimate combo. I have recorded a consistent MPG of 20 plus, cruising 70 MPH plus on the freeway using this combo. That is much better than the 14-15 MPG I was getting in stock form!

NOT WORTH THE MONEY

The Banks "ram-air" system is barely an improvement over the stock air box, I think its really a joke.added no noticeable gains in HP, TQ, or in MPG. I have a hard time beliving the previous 2 reviews after using it for my self. I saw no fuel milage gain. The kit is also poorly made. sure it works, but the top of mine would not go on to the box correctly and couldnt get all four bolts that hold it on to screw in because the holes dont line up and i ended up drilling them out. I recomed the AFE air intakes over this one every day of the week, the fit much beter and accualy add noticeable gains.
