Banks Ram air intake

I just installed the banks intake on my LMM, and though i would share my thoughts. First thoughts, intake looks to be good. Went to install, and the Banks fits better than any aftermarket intake i have installed or used. Fits better than the stock intake.

Power i have heard everything how a intake does nothing. I could tell a difference, i am not running any tuner on the truck now and when i installed the intake the truck felt like it was on the Quadzill 20 hp tune but a little stronger. So i know that the intake is doing something. The Banks intake also flows better because from a dead stop hard accel, it cleans up the smoke, and without intake it will put a puff out even stock.

Ya i will probably continue to run banks products, never seen such well designed products. And i am not running my tuner, and i can that something is different and the intake only thing new so it does make a difference.

It was i am more happy with that intake than anything else. The fit was flawless, didnt have to try and work it iin.

Except where i had my boost tapped so had to plug it and going to have to retap o well worth it.
