Ramair Filters Explained: Foam Induction Kits & Panel Filters Buyer's Guide

When upgrading your engine's breathing apparatus, maximizing airflow without sacrificing dirt retention is the ultimate goal. Ramair is a UK based manufacturer specializing in high performance air filters and induction kits engineered to do exactly that. With decades of experience in automotive filtration technology, Ramair has built a massive reputation for delivering noticeable performance gains, sharper throttle response, and aggressive induction noise.

Proudly developed and manufactured in the UK, Ramair offers products for a massive range of vehicles, from everyday road cars to dedicated track and motorsport applications. Whether you are looking for a simple drop in panel filter for your daily commute or a complete oversized induction kit for a Stage 2 track build, Ramair delivers precision engineered solutions that increase engine efficiency without compromising protection.

The Ramair USP: Twin Core Foam Technology

While many aftermarket brands rely on cotton gauze, Ramair built its motorsport legacy on high performance foam filtration. Factory paper filters are dense and restrictive, choking your turbocharger as they collect dust.

Ramair utilizes a unique twin core aeriform foam structure.

  • Maximum Airflow & Dirt Retention: The outer layer of coarse foam traps large debris, while the inner fine foam core captures microscopic dust particles. This allows the filter to flow a massive volume of air over a much longer period before needing to be cleaned.
  • Washable and Reusable: Unlike standard paper filters that you throw away at every service, Ramair foam filters are completely washable. Simply clean and re-oil the foam using their dedicated cleaning kits, making it a lifetime upgrade for your engine.

Drop In Performance: High Flow Panel Filters

For lightly modified cars or drivers wanting a cost effective upgrade, the factory airbox is often sufficient, but the factory paper filter is not.

Ramair high flow panel filters are designed as direct replacements for your OEM filter. They drop straight into the factory plastic airbox in seconds. By drastically reducing the airflow restriction, these panel filters provide an instant improvement in throttle response and mid range torque, while keeping induction volume relatively close to factory levels.

Complete Induction Kits & The PRORAM Range

When you tune an engine and push higher boost pressures, the physical volume and convoluted pipework of the factory airbox become a major restriction. Ramair induction kits completely replace the OEM housing to deliver maximum cold air to the turbocharger.

  • Foam Induction Kits: Featuring their signature oversized foam cone filters, custom bent aluminum pipework, and bespoke laser cut heat shields. These kits unleash the raw sound of your turbo spooling and deliver huge, dyno proven horsepower gains by giving the turbo unrestricted access to cold air.
  • The PRORAM Range: Alongside their traditional foam filters, Ramair recently introduced the PRORAM line. These filters utilize a premium synthetic pleated nanofiber material instead of foam. PRORAM kits are designed for maximum velocity and offer a slightly different aesthetic and sound profile, making them incredibly popular for modern fast road builds that demand the absolute highest flow rates.
