Choose Your Ramair Intake Upgrade
Replacement Air Filters
The simple factory-airbox upgrade.
Replace the standard disposable paper element with a direct-fit Ramair performance filter while retaining the original airbox, intake ducting and factory-style installation.
Ideal for daily-driven vehicles, mild performance upgrades and owners who want improved filtration hardware without replacing the complete intake system.
Intake Systems
The more complete performance upgrade.
Ramair vehicle-specific induction kits replace more of the original intake path and may include a performance filter, intake pipework, heat shielding, silicone hoses and installation hardware depending on the application.
A complete intake is the better route when increased induction sound, improved airflow capacity and support for further engine modifications are priorities.
Universal Air Filters
For custom and fabricated intake systems.
Choose from Ramair universal cone and performance filters in a wide range of inlet diameters, sizes and configurations for custom intake fabrication, modified vehicles and specialist applications.
Always check the filter neck diameter, available installation space and airflow requirements before selecting a universal filter.
Ramair Replacement Performance Air Filters
For many vehicles, upgrading the filter inside the original airbox is the easiest place to start.
Ramair direct replacement foam filters are designed to fit the factory airbox in place of the standard paper element. Their performance foam construction provides a serviceable filter that can be cleaned and treated again rather than simply discarded when dirty.
Ramair's foam replacement filters use a twin-layer fully reticulated filter medium supported by a stainless steel cage. They are designed to provide effective filtration while maintaining good airflow and are suitable for vehicles using mass-air-flow sensors.
Because the original airbox remains in place, installation is generally straightforward and the factory cold-air routing and under-bonnet appearance are retained.

Ramair Performance Intake & Induction Systems

A complete intake system goes further than changing the filter element alone. Depending on the vehicle, Ramair intake kits can replace restrictive factory pipework, reposition or enlarge the filter and incorporate heat shielding or revised intake routing.
The result is a more substantial intake upgrade with a noticeably stronger induction character and greater airflow potential for modified engines.
Dedicated vehicle-specific kits are the preferred option where available because the filter sizing, pipework, mounting and supporting hardware have already been designed around the particular engine bay.
For vehicles with ECU tuning or further performance modifications, improving the intake system can also form part of a broader airflow package alongside exhaust, intercooler and engine calibration upgrades.
Ramair Universal Performance Air Filters
Ramair's universal filter range gives you considerably more flexibility when there is no vehicle-specific kit available or when you are building a custom intake from scratch.
Choose by Size, Not Vehicle
Unlike a direct replacement filter, universal filters are selected primarily by physical dimensions. The intake pipe or MAF housing diameter needs to match the filter neck, while the overall filter dimensions must fit safely within the available engine-bay space.
The range includes multiple cone-filter designs, neck sizes and constructions, allowing them to be used for custom road-car, modified and specialist intake installations.
Plan the Installation Properly
A universal filter is only one part of a good custom intake. Position, heat exposure, ducting, pipe diameter and secure mounting all matter.
Where possible, feed the filter with cool external air rather than simply locating an exposed filter beside a hot engine or turbocharger. Ramair ducting and intake accessories can be used to help complete a properly routed custom system.

Breather Filters & Intake Accessories
Breather Filters
Ramair compact breather filters are available for crankcase ventilation, catch-can and other custom breathing applications. Multiple neck diameters make it possible to match the filter to the hose or fitting used in the installation.
Intake Accessories
Complete or maintain an intake installation with cold-air ducting, hoses, mounting components, adapters and filter-care products.
Ramair foam filters are serviceable rather than disposable. Use the appropriate cleaning and filter-treatment products when maintenance is required rather than replacing a reusable filter simply because it has become dirty.
Which Upgrade Makes Sense?
Keep the Factory Airbox If...
- You want a straightforward DIY-friendly upgrade.
- You prefer the original engine-bay appearance.
- You want to retain the factory cold-air routing.
- Your vehicle is standard or only mildly modified.
- You mainly want a reusable performance replacement filter.
Choose a Complete Intake If...
- You want noticeably stronger induction sound.
- You are upgrading more than just the filter element.
- The factory intake becomes restrictive for your performance goals.
- The vehicle has or will receive additional performance modifications.
- You want a complete vehicle-specific induction package rather than fabricating one yourself.
Why Ramair?
From OEM Replacement to Full Intake
One of Ramair's strengths is the breadth of the range. The same manufacturer can supply a simple direct-fit replacement filter, a complete vehicle-specific induction kit or the universal components required to build a custom intake.
That makes Ramair particularly useful for European performance vehicles where the right solution may vary considerably depending on the engine, modifications and budget.
Serviceable Performance Filtration
Ramair foam performance filters are designed to be cleaned and maintained using the appropriate filter-care products. This allows the filter to remain in service rather than following the normal replace-and-discard cycle of a disposable paper element.
Always follow the maintenance procedure for the exact filter type fitted to your vehicle.
Ramair Air Filters & Intake Systems FAQ
What is the easiest Ramair upgrade for a standard car?
A direct-fit Ramair replacement filter is normally the simplest option. It replaces the standard filter element while retaining the original airbox and intake routing, making it particularly suitable for road cars where a complete intake system is not required.
What is the difference between a replacement filter and an intake system?
A replacement filter fits inside the original airbox. A complete intake or induction system replaces additional parts of the factory intake and may include a larger or repositioned filter, revised pipework, heat shielding, hoses and mounting hardware. Complete systems generally provide a greater change in induction sound and airflow potential.
Are Ramair foam filters reusable?
Yes. Ramair foam performance filters are designed to be cleaned and treated again using the appropriate maintenance products. Follow the instructions for the exact filter rather than using general-purpose cleaners or installing the filter without the required treatment.
Are Ramair replacement filters safe for MAF-equipped vehicles?
Ramair specifies its direct-fit foam panel filters as MAF-safe when correctly maintained and installed. Always use the correct filter-care products and avoid excessive treatment when servicing the filter.
Will a Ramair filter increase engine power?
The purpose of a performance filter is to provide efficient filtration with good airflow. The actual performance change depends on how restrictive the original intake is, the engine and the vehicle's other modifications. On many standard vehicles, the main advantages are serviceability and reduced intake restriction rather than a dramatic standalone power increase.
Do I need ECU tuning after installing a Ramair intake?
Not every filter or intake installation requires ECU tuning. Many direct-fit replacement filters and vehicle-specific intake kits can be used on otherwise standard vehicles. ECU tuning becomes more relevant when the intake forms part of a larger performance package or when additional airflow is required to support increased engine output.
How do I choose a universal Ramair cone filter?
Start with the required filter neck diameter and then check the overall filter dimensions against the available installation space. Also consider intake pipe diameter, MAF arrangement, mounting position, heat exposure and how cool outside air will reach the filter.
Is an exposed cone filter always better than the factory airbox?
No. Air temperature and filter position matter as much as the filter itself. A well-designed factory airbox may already receive cool external air, while an exposed filter positioned beside a hot engine can ingest warmer under-bonnet air. A good performance intake needs to consider both airflow and heat management.
What are Ramair breather filters used for?
Breather filters are compact filters used in crankcase ventilation, catch-can and other custom engine-breathing arrangements. They are selected primarily by the connection or neck diameter rather than by normal vehicle fitment.
Can I build a custom intake using Ramair components?
Yes. Ramair offers universal filters together with ducting and supporting intake components suitable for custom installations. Correct filter sizing, pipe diameter, heat management, mounting and sensor placement should all be considered when designing a custom intake.
How often should I clean a Ramair performance filter?
There is no single mileage interval that suits every vehicle. Inspect the filter periodically and service it when contamination becomes significant. Cars driven in dusty environments will normally require more frequent inspection than vehicles used primarily on sealed roads.
How do I find the correct Ramair product for my vehicle?
Use our Vehicle Finder to display products matched to your make, model and generation. Vehicle-specific products are shown first, followed by compatible universal products where applicable.
