Banks 41837 RAM Air Intake System

The Banks 41837 RAM Air Intake System has generated a mixed bag of reviews from customers, primarily focused on its performance and installation experience. Many users have reported noticeable improvements in their vehicle's acceleration and throttle response after installing the intake system. Those who felt a hint of lag in their Jeep or other vehicles often noted that this intake mod significantly reduced that lag, leading to a smoother ride and quicker starts. The throaty roar that accompanies acceleration also seems to be a highlight for many, enhancing the driving experience with a more powerful sound. Installation of the system has generally been appreciated, with most customers describing it as straightforward and manageable, even for those with limited mechanical skills. However, several reviewers did voice frustrations regarding the quality of the installation instructions, claiming they were poorly written and complicated, making it difficult to follow. On the downside, some users expressed disappointment about the product not living up to claims of improving fuel efficiency, with reports of decreased miles per gallon after installation. Additionally, concerns were raised about the open air box design potentially offering less protection against dust and mud during off-road conditions. While performance improvements were recognized by some, others felt that the benefits did not justify the cost of the system. Overall, the Banks RAM Air Intake System seems to be more effective for those looking to enhance their vehicle's performance and sound while off-roading or driving in urban environments. However, it may not satisfy those particularly focused on fuel efficiency or expecting drastic power increases. **
