With a motorsport heritage stretching back to 1981, RamAir is one of the world’s leading air filtration specialists

When it comes to tuning a car, one of the first things on the list is a performance air filter. It’s a relatively simple way to improve airflow, which can increase power and also produce a much improved induction sound. As one of the world’s leading filtration specialists, UK company RamAir offer a huge range – with everything from old-school carb kits, to panel filters and universal set-ups, through to full heat-shield induction kits. One of their largest ranges is for VW Group cars.

Run by a bunch of dedicated car enthusiasts, RamAir’s products have been extremely well received by the VW Group community. From stunning show-car engine bays, to hard-worked track weapons, you’ll find the RamAir brand everywhere.

Although the company’s heritage stretches back to 1981, it’s the last eight years where big things have happened for the Wiltshire-based outfit. “When we took over the company, there were a lot of great products, but we wanted to grow the range to cater for the cars we were into,” says Operations Director Dan Mullan. “We began with a small building with one ramp and a little area to make the filters.” But they soon progressed, and the real growth began when they focussed on the e-commerce side of the business in 2010, which is also when they began to diversify.
