Product Name: Banks Ram-Air Intake System - 1997-2006 Jeep 4.0L Wrangler Manufacturer: Banks Manufacturer Part #: 41816 Thoroughbred Diesel Part #: BAN41816 Fitment Notes: 1997-2006 Jeep 4.0L Wrangler
Banks Ram-Air Superiority. 4.0L 6-CYL: 1997-06 Wrangler. Banks Ram-Air Intake System replaces the factory's flat panel filter with a large conical filter that provides maximum high-flow filtration. The Ram-Air's opening is over twice as big as stock's, and without the 90-Degree detours that choke airflow and kill power. The huge inlet, enclosed housing and much larger tubing reduce restrictions, dramatically improving airflow to the cylinders. The results are impressive: Banks Ram-Air Intake more than doubles the factory intake's airflow, improving the Jeep's power and fuel economy. And Banks Ram-Air is designed to accommodate engine movement, which prevents component damage for reliable service life.

When you think about cold air intakes, there are two main components to consider. First is air filtration. When comparing oiled filters to dry filters the oiled will always filter out more particulate than the dry filter will. The added oil allows the cotton fibers in the filter element to trap more particulate matter as the air passes through it. The downfall is that in dusty environments the oil filters tend to get dirty quicker than the dry filter will.
The second component to consider on a cold air intake is performance, or how much air flow it allows. From the tests that we have seen, there is no difference in air flow between an oiled filter or a dry filter, if they are both clean. However, as we stated before the oiled filter will catch more particulate and become dirty quicker than the dry filter will. As a filter becomes dirtier, its performance decreases due to excess particulate matter restricting the air flow. Therefore, a dry filter will provide more performance over a longer period of time than an oiled filter will.
For daily driven trucks we recommend oiled filters, unless the truck is driven in an extremely dusty environment. We feel that the extra filtration power added by the oil is worth sacrificing the 1 or 2 extra horsepower you might get from using a dry filter.
