"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."

"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."

"Easy to install and looks good. Limited increase in driving HP, at least as far as I can tell. Mostly noticed at high RPM's. Gained maybe .5-1 mpg in efficiency. Should pay out in a year."

"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."
