Anyone else read it?

What did you think?

 

Are you talking about the "Cool Cuff?" While I don't doubt it, I would like to see some 3rd party testing of all the systems. Still, pretty bold statement that "they must not have any engineers on their staffs."

 

Yeah, and the "liability" issue as well...

 

Hard to say what anyone thinks without a reference to the advertisement in question..... I searched for 15 minutes without finding anything about a "new" Banks Exhaust.

How about a link?

 

here is one

You can enlarge the pic, several inches before the tip you can see the "cool cuff." Below is stuff written about...apparently Banks thinks everyone else's tips are ugly......they have an oval shaped one that I think looks like my backside.

Just found this after I hit post:

This is the same ad in the magazines.

From TDP, a thread that discusses the system. A bankspower member chimes in as well. I would like to see someone that sells the other systems perform multiple tests, just for fun and see exactly what type of results it gets. This might actually be something that Banks really isn't blowing hot air about.....

Since they did the test on the 6.4 F-250 was that with or with out the flame thrower option?

 

That's the same exhaust concept used on the new Duramax.

If you've ever stood by a DPF equipped truck after a hard run, you'd understand what they're talking about. The DPF puts out insane amounts of heat, and trucks equipped with them shouldn't be anywhere near dry grass or flammables.

The statements made by Banks are pretty bold, but he (Gale) has been around for a very long time and knows his stuff.

Why after a hard run on a dpf equipped truck would it be a whole lot different than another? I'm under the impression that they get extraordinarily hot during regen cycles.

 

I was standing next to freinds(ford) after just running from his house to mine 10 miles and it was idleing and it was hot as heck. I was 2 feet away and it was freak'n hot.

 

the hino i drive at work gets so hot you can smell a burning smell all the time. one day i had to manually gegen it and it was raining, it got hot enough to dry a 3 foot circle around the exhaust

 

Only Frod regens at idle. I don't think the Dmax does, and I know CTD doesn't.

Simple fix, don't buy a Frod..
