Banks Power 94-02 Dodge 5.9L Ram-Air Intake System - Dry Filter

Fits 1994–2002 Dodge Ram 5.9L Engines

Part #: 42225-D

Overview

The Banks Power Ram-Air Intake System is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for Dodge Ram trucks equipped with 5.9L engines from 1994 to 2002. This intake system replaces the factory flat panel filter with a large conical filter, maximizing airflow and filtration efficiency. Engineered to improve throttle response, reduce intake restrictions, and support better fuel economy, it is ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced power and efficiency without sacrificing reliability. The system’s large cold-air inlet and oversized outlet work together to deliver cooler, denser air to the engine, resulting in noticeable performance gains and smoother operation. Whether you’re looking to boost your truck’s horsepower, improve fuel economy, or enhance overall engine response, this intake system offers a practical and durable solution. Its CFD-shaped intake tube and enclosed housing help optimize airflow paths, reducing turbulence and ensuring consistent performance under various driving conditions.

Key Features

This intake system features a robust design focused on maximizing airflow and durability. Key features include:

• Large conical dry filter for high-flow filtration and easy maintenance
• Huge cold-air inlet to draw in cooler, denser air from outside the engine bay
• CFD-optimized intake tube for improved airflow dynamics
• Enclosed housing to protect the filter and streamline airflow
• Heavy-duty construction designed to withstand harsh engine bay conditions
• Simple bolt-on installation with minimal modifications required
• Supports increased engine response and fuel efficiency

Construction & Design

The Banks Ram-Air Intake System is constructed from high-quality materials with a focus on durability and performance. The intake tube is shaped using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to ensure optimal airflow and minimal turbulence. The large conical filter is designed for maximum high-flow filtration, providing a reliable barrier against dirt and debris while supporting improved engine breathing. The enclosed housing helps protect the filter from heat and contaminants, maintaining consistent intake temperatures and performance.

Driving Feel & Feedback

Installing this intake system enhances the engine’s response and throttle feel, making acceleration smoother and more immediate. The increased airflow supports better combustion, which can translate into improved power delivery and a more engaging driving experience. The system also helps reduce intake temperatures, contributing to cooler engine operation and potentially more consistent power output during demanding driving conditions.

Installation & Fitment

Designed for straightforward installation, the Banks Ram-Air Intake System bolts directly onto the factory mounting points with minimal tools required. It is a drop-in upgrade that does not necessitate major modifications, making it suitable for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike.

What’s Included

The package includes the conical dry filter, intake tube, enclosed housing, all necessary clamps, and hardware for a complete installation.
