Opinions and Experiences with Ramair Filters?

[samuelbenjamin]

Hi everyone,

I’m considering upgrading my car’s intake system and keep seeing Ramair filters recommended. I’ve read that they offer better airflow and performance compared to standard filters, but I’m curious about real-world experiences.

How do they affect engine performance, fuel efficiency, and maintenance in daily driving? Are they easy to clean and reuse, or do they require frequent replacement? Also, do they have any impact on engine sound?

I’d love to hear from people who have installed them on similar vehicles.

Would you recommend Ramair over other popular brands?

Just stick to a fresh OE paper filter. The differences will be marginal. Unless you want a different intake entirely.

Oh and this was my ITG “lifetime” filter 🙄

Foam filters are never “lifetime” in my experience.

K&N fair a lot better as they don’t break up like the foam ones do.

Ramair proram are decent. They are similar construction to K&N.

If doing loads of miles id bin for new one every couple of years. Not expensive.

Jetex panel in the airbox on my 172 for years defo reccomend them over any foam type.

It might depend on what you're planning and what car it is. If it's for a 172/182, 100% go down the induction kit route, as they sound brilliant. In fact, I'd do that whatever kind of Clio it is. I think panel filters are a bit of a waste of time in reality.

As for Ramair, I've used them on numerous cars and never had any issues. The foam ones do break apart eventually, but they're cheap enough to replace. The Proram ones are a bit higher quality and, as someone said above, similar to K&N etc.
