"Installation was relatively easy, taking about 30 minutes. I've not yet kept track of any increase in mileage. I do like the way the intake sounds when accelerating, you can hear the sucking sound of the air entering the the intake and into the turbo and also a deep sound. I'm satisfied with this purchase and especially, your customer service. Excellent!"

"Overall experience with Auto Anything couldn't be better. I checked several places online and this is the best price. The Banks product is top quality. I've noticed slightly better fuel economy so far and more power with less rpm in the 5.9 Cummins. Can't beat the free freight and no sales tax with A.A. I will definately be a returning customer.

"I opened the box, and a question mark hovered above my head. "That's it?!?" I thought. I own a '93 F250 with the V10. All that was in the box was half an air filter box and a filter. "I paid how much for this?" I compared the OEM box to the Banks box, and noticed the size difference, and the orifice opening. Then I compared the filter size from the OEM to the Banks. I saw the Banks was larger all around. Installation was as easy as changing the air filter. However, the two molded studs need to be relocated during manufacturing to accomodate for the larger size. Anyway... after installation, throttle response was quicker, and didn't need so much throttle to get up to speed. The sound changed to a throaty, mellow sound while accelerating. Fuel economy increased from 200 miles per tank to 240 miles per tank. Overall, it's a good buy and a simple upgrade that will provide better performance and economy. Looks good when you pop the hood too!"

"An Excellent Choice for the V10 Gas. MPG up about 20%, I tow a 30' trailer through the Mountains and you can tell the difference! The lifetime filter and the cool Ram Air intake make this one a true WINNER!"

"2 WEEKS AGO I PURCHASED THE BANKS RAM AIR.FOR 13 YEARS I'VE BEEN A DIESEL TECH.ORIGINALLY MY 06 F250 SUPERDUTY WAS GETTING AROUND 12.3- 13 MPG.THE FIRST WEEK I DIDN'T SEE MUCH IMPROVEMENT BECAUSE I WAS CONSTANTLY GETTING INTO IT DUE TO THE RAM AIR RAISED MY BOOST PRESSURE FROM 21 TO 27 PSI,WHICH ALONE WAS WORTH THE INVESTMENT.THIS PAST WEEK I CHECKED & KNOW I'M GETTING 14 MPG.THE RAM AIR DOESN'T GIVE ALOT OFF THE LINE,BUT IF RUNNING HIGHWAY SPEEDS THEIR IS A BIG DIFFERENCE & ALOT PEPPYER.IF I WOULD TAKE OFF MY 35/12-50'S THE MPG MIGHT BE BETTER.OVERALL I WOULD RECOMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYBODY."

"Overall the product is very good and installing it was easy with simple hand tools. The only problem I encountered was with the box that has the sealed brass nuts for the scoop to screw to; one of the sealed brassed nuts came out when I attempted to tightin them. I ended up having to drill the whole out and install a regular nut and bolt to replace it. The only other problems I had was getting the stock air box out of the vechicle, lol. I am glad I don't have to clean that thing any more. I have not had the product install long enough to see any improvement on MPH or noticed any horsepower increases. But overall I would recommend this product."

"You sure can hear the the turbo. Easy install. I really don't see any inprovement to fuel mileage at all! The cost is not justified and I'm having a hard time selling it to myself now that I have the unit. Over all performance the same. You are just buying the name "BANKS""

"I got the Banks system installed in about an hour. The quality is great and performance is everything I was looking for. I pull heavy trailers, so I upgraded to 4" exhaust and a chip. The Banks system was just what the truck needed to compliment these upgrades and breath easier. On hills that I used to downshift and drop to about 45 mph with the stock setup I can now maintain 55 mph and not even downshift. I'm very satisfied and highly recommend this system."

"One Complaint, I was never emailed when my product was shipped so I didn't know when to expect it. As far as the product, 20 min install without useing the instructions. With stock intake I averaged 12.1mpg per tank to and from work, with BANKS RAMAIR 13.9mpg! per tank same route and routine. Great sound, increased MPG, increased torque and horsepower. Next I will be ordering the Banks Stinger exhaust. I will let you know how that addition works out."
