What is a RamAir Intake System and How Does It Work?
RamAir intake systems and induction kits are performance upgrades designed to improve airflow into the engine. They typically replace the factory airbox and other restrictive intake components with a high-flow air filter and/or upgraded pipework, allowing the engine to breathe more freely while producing a sportier, more noticeable induction sound.
By reducing airflow restrictions before the engine or turbocharger, a RamAir intake can improve the efficiency of the air intake system. Depending on the vehicle and kit design, it may also feature a heat shield or enclosed filter housing to help protect the intake from surrounding components and keep intake air temperatures lower which is critical when pushing for power.
Improved airflow can result in sharper throttle response, enhanced induction and turbocharger sound, and increased airflow capacity. This also makes a RamAir intake an ideal supporting upgrade for vehicles that have been tuned or remapped.
What is the Difference Between Pleated vs Foam RamAir Induction Kits?
Foam filters: With a 15mm thick twin-layer foam specifically created for RamAir air intake filters, it is washable and reusable. Focused on road driving, their foam construction can hold more dirt without impacting airflow, meaning less maintenance.
Pleated filters: Manufactured with the latest in polymer technology, synthetic nanofibre. Generally provide higher airflow; however, due to their flatter design, airflow can decrease quicker as dust and dirt accumulate.

Why We Use and Recommend RamAir
“On a performance car, improving the way the engine breathes is one of the most straightforward upgrades you can make. A restrictive factory airbox can hold airflow back, so fitting a well-designed induction kit or performance filter gives the engine a better supply of air and can sharpen the way it responds.
That is why we use RamAir on our own cars as well as recommending it to customers. Their motorsport background shows in the way the products are developed, with filtration, airflow, and fitment all properly considered rather than simply chasing noise.
For a road car, a RamAir upgrade can make the engine feel more responsive and add more character under acceleration. On a tuned or harder-driven car, the improved airflow gives you a better foundation as you start asking more from the engine.
That is why RamAir belongs in the DRVN range. It is a proven, well-developed upgrade that improves the intake side of the car without making things more complicated than they need to be.”

RamAir FAQs
What are the benefits of installing an aftermarket performance air intake?
RamAir air intake kits demand an increase of cooler air which is needed to provide more horsepower, a sharper throttle response, aggressive induction sound, and less maintenance with a washable and reusable filter.
Which is better, RamAir or K&N?
This always depends on personal preference. RamAir kits are designed around improving airflow without making the setup unnecessarily complicated, and you normally get a bit more induction noise and response as part of it. We have used RamAir on our own cars as well, so it is a brand we know works in the real world.
