Question Banks Exhaust?

I am thinking of putting a banks exhaust on my truck. from the DPF back or course. I would like to know if anyone has put one of these on a stock truck. What have you noticed? power? sound? likes? dislikes?

I am concerned with releaving the back pressure and it affecting the exhaust brake performance.

Also, I like the idea of a warranty so i am trying to keep it intact. so would an intake void it as well?

Thanks in advance

I had one on my 2004.5 and really like it. But my understanding on the 2010 is that the factory exhaust already has a straight pass through design so very little advantage to be had by changing the exhaust. most systems don't even come with a muffler with only helps increase the exhaust sound. The real restrictions in our system is the Cat, nox, and DPF filters. I thought along the same lines at first and decided to spend my money else where....

waste of money on any TBE, does nothing for you. removing the stock muffler also wont do you any good for sound or performance. leave it all stock, or replace completely.

i agree, the banks exhaust is a waste of money. i found out the hard way and bought it. just rip out that dpf and keep it handy in case you have to go in for warranty work

I was looking at it for my new truck. But it would be a waste. I did how ever like it on my 04.5 it made nice sound and got rid of the 70mph drone I had with that truck...

Don't know Texas law ... is there any smog inspection in your area ? Or might be up coming ? I'd check that before having anyone cutting anything.

HUGE waste of money.

If you are not deleting, leave it stock. The DPF/NOx/CAT are the culprits when it comes to air flow.

Anything "filter back" is a joke.
