Ram Pipes & Filter Socks

Ram pipes and filter socks for motorsport vehicles are designed to optimise airflow into the engine, enhancing performance and efficiency. Ram pipes, also known as velocity stacks, are precision-engineered components typically made from lightweight materials such as aluminium or carbon fibre. Their primary function is to smooth and accelerate the intake air, reducing turbulence and increasing the volumetric efficiency of the engine.

The design of ram pipes is crucial for achieving optimal air intake. They feature a flared or bell-shaped inlet which helps in reducing air resistance and promoting a more streamlined flow of air into the carburettor or throttle body. The length and diameter of the ram pipes are carefully tuned to match the engine’s specific requirements, ensuring maximum airflow and improving power output, especially at high RPMs.

Filter socks are used in conjunction with ram pipes to provide necessary filtration without significantly restricting airflow. These socks are made from advanced, high-flow filtration materials such as multi-layered foam or oiled cotton gauze, which trap dust and debris while allowing maximum air passage. The design of filter socks ensures that they fit snugly over the ram pipes, providing effective filtration without compromising the performance benefits of the ram pipes.

Both ram pipes and filter socks are integral to the induction system of motorsport vehicles, enhancing the engine’s breathing capabilities. The combination of smooth, accelerated airflow provided by the ram pipes and efficient filtration offered by the filter socks ensures that the engine receives clean, high-volume air, crucial for maintaining peak performance under racing conditions. The precision engineering and high-quality materials used in these components make them essential for competitive motorsport applications.
