Banks Ram-Air®

2005 Yukon Denali

Definitely recommend this CAI. My Denali has 162k miles and I can feel better response from her in the higher RPMs. MPG average went up to 17mpg highway driving at one point. Just a word of advice. You’ll need to rotate your mass airflow sensor where the connector is at the 3 o’clock position for the hood to close

Ram Air System

If you’re in the market for a Ram Air System for your vehicle then look no further. This is my second system, this one for a 2003 GMC Yukon SLT. The fit and finish is second to none! The engineering is impeccable, every part was meticulously thought out and fit perfect! Banks will always be my first choice for high performance parts to increase power. Thanks Banks!

EXCELLENT quality, highly recommend for everyday and hot rod builder

Quality really is second to none. VERY impressed with it. I'd recommend this to anybody looking for a better intake. It certainly has helped with my on highway efficiency (obtained 21mpg over best tank at 19mpg hwy before) and likely also improved performance. If I do enough highway driving it could conceivably pay for itself. My truck is a bit of a backyard R&D project though so lots of questions. My first inclination is to swap the filter element with a more desert racing style design similar to ITG. Unfortunately, I don't think they make one that would fit the CAI. I am constantly in really fine DUST. Would be cool if you offered a filter element option similar to that. Additionally, I don't quite have the vernacular to explain the following correctly. But I presume the filter shifted optimal cylinder fill to a different part of the operating range / RPM for lack of better word. Did it shift it up from stock or down? My goal is to improve part throttle response / low end vacuum to (1) help fuel economy and (2) improve climbing performance in mountains. I've yet to fully test all of those over my factory intake. I don't quite have the right systems to quite draw specific conclusions at this time. Right now I'm tuning with standard PIDs offered by my P59 PCM and logging gas mileage. My trail gas mileage seems to have suffered, but I don't know what changes affected that exactly yet. Would love to understand some of the design decisions that were made in creating the intake. Specifically what operating range was optimized.
