Does anybody have one of these intakes? Is it worth the money and does it come with a super scoop?

 

I have been running one for over a year, and i love it, really wakes the motor up. It adds a very distinctive sound when accelerating. I chose it over the other brands because it comes with a housing for the filter, it hooks into the stock air port in the fender as well as a wide open front, it wont just pull hot air from under the hood. Pulling a lot of hot air from the engine compartment is just as inefficient as pulling cooler air through a restricted stock intake imo. Banks also has a very good research and development department they designed their intake for optimum flow and performance, its not just some round tube with a filter stuck on the end.

 

is there anywhere i can get it for less than $399??....thats pretty steep

 

I've got one as well . and no it doesn't come with the scoop . I actually got mine from banks . They were having a sale . I cant remember how much though. Did you check out ebay?

 

yeah i did but there weren't any on there at this time...i am debating between the Banks, AEM, or the AF1

 

I have the banks too. I couldnt be happier. It is very well built and looks great under the hood. I personally am not a fan of the chromed out, generic looking tube with a random colored filter on the end of it.

The banks is a quality product and you truly get what you pay for.

No scoop with it. Less than $399? I picked mine up online from 4wheelparts since they were having a sale. I think out the door for a bit less than 360. Thats still a chunk of change but if put in the same situation I would do it all over again. I love the thing!

 

Thanks Guys that gives me a good idea...looks like this intake may be the one

 

I have a S&B Intake which looks very similar to the Banks, (they may even make them for banks, Not sure though. )
It Really woke up my 5.4.

I got my S&B from Auto Anything for $269.00

I have heard that s&b makes the kit for banks. Never heard a bad review on s&b and its much cheaper. Maybe check them out.

 

The only problem i have had with my banks is the hardware loosening up, just used some blue loctite on it and it was good to go

 

This thread has been very helpful...my bank account and my wife now hate you guys.

 

HAHAHA! Thats funny, lol!!

 

Haha your just doing your part to stimulate the economy

 

I think this will be added to the future mod list in a few years.

 

I bought an EBAY special. 4" intake with a name brand K&N element for around $80. The only thing I'm not sure about is that it didn't come with a heat shield. I'm sure how much of a difference that makes though.
