Engineered specifically for the 2011–2016 Ford Super Duty platform equipped with the 6.7L Powerstroke V8 turbo diesel, the Banks Power Ram-Air System (42215-D) provides maximum air density gains while maintaining complete factory durability. Unlike open-element designs that inhale hot under-hood radiant air, the Ram-Air system utilizes a fully enclosed cold-air housing featuring oversized side and bottom ambient air inlets to pack cold, oxygen-dense air directly to the turbocharger compressor inlet.

The system incorporates a massive dome-shaped, multi-layer dry synthetic air filter that delivers 99% filtration efficiency without requiring filter oils or solvents. To prevent component fatigue under high torque loads, Banks incorporates a proprietary 4.5-inch flexible EPDM bellows coupler that absorbs violent engine movement without stressing the airbox mounts or turbo inlet seals.

Key Features & Benefits

• Cool, Dense Air Induction: Enclosed roto-molded housing isolates the filter from radiant under-hood heat, drawing cold ambient air through large side and forward ducts to reduce exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs).
• 26% Flow Gain Over Stock: Streamlined internal transitions eliminate turbulence, feeding greater air density to the turbo inlet for faster spool response and improved fuel efficiency.
• Oil-Free Synthetic Dry Filter: Oversized dry filter element captures sub-micron dust particles without oiling, eliminating the risk of MAF sensor contamination and simplifying routine service.
• 4.5-Inch Flexible Bellows Coupler: Absorbs engine torque flex and vibration, preventing air duct cracking, coupler blow-offs, and premature mount failures.
• Precision Sensor Calibration: Retains factory mass airflow sensor placement and mapping to guarantee error-free operation on stock ECM tunes without throwing diagnostic trouble codes.
• Direct-Fit Installation: Drops into the OEM airbox mounting footprint using basic hand tools without requiring cutting, trimming, or bracket fabrication.
