Banks For Ford F-150 Pickups
Banks gets back to its roots in gasoline engine performance with a high-flow, cold-air intake system that dramatically improves the breathing capacity of '04-'07 Ford F-150 pickups. Together with its High-Ram intake plenum, Banks Ram-Air Intake System outflows the stock setup by up to 79 percent. Banks' lifetime Ram-Air filter has eight plies and deep filter pleats for maximum high-flow filtration. The large filter and outlet provide a greater filtration area, resulting in fewer filter cleanings and more sustained performance. The Banks engineers gave every component a wide-open, streamlined design. And to give the engine greater power, Banks' complete air-filter housing draws in the cooler and denser under-vehicle air. In addition, Banks replaces the small factory bellows with large 4 1/2-inch bellows to improve flow while accommodating engine movement. Info: 877/227-5610, www.bankspower.com
