Anyone with banks monster 4 inch kit here? I would like to know how much difference you felt with it compared to stock im looking into buying the kit and was wondering if you could order anywhere besides straight from banks

 

You'll not feel any more horsepower unless you put more air into the engine

Banks in my option is too pricey for their products and their stated horsepower gains are inflated

Their are many cheaper vendors for CTD products....and most of them advertise on this site.....check out their ads too

 

I have that exhaust. It was difficult to tell because I added the Edge EZ at the same time. Turbo spool-up seemed faster. As for the price, it was the cheapest 4" stainless exhaust I found at the time. I got mine from DirectInjection.com. Nice people to work with.

 

I put the Banks Monster exhaust on at the same time I put the Banks Power Pack system on. So I can't really say if it helped egts or increased power or did nothing.

I found the exhaust system to be very well made. All of the parts were there to complete the install, the instructions were clear and everything fit well without modification (lengths & welded hangers).

Overall the truck is some louder as a result of the Banks exhaust.

However, if I were to do the install again I might try to move the exhaust pipe a little forward, just aft of the rear axle where it is closest to the spare tire to provide a bit more clearance. (Banks exhausts use the guillotine clamps and once they are snugged up, 4' stainless is hard to move.)

 

As the others said for hp.
You can't beat the Banks 4'' for fit and quality, price is very competitive.
I'd go for it again, their prices have come down a lot since I did mine.

 

Torqued,

I installed the Banks exhaust shortly after buying my truck new. I like the sound, especially when I get on it going up a hill. I took a saws all to the stock system and the Banks install easily.

As for performance, I think the turbo spools a little quicker. I didn't have gauges before the install, so no EGT comparison.

I have pics of the polished tip in the member photos thingy.

 

I have the 4" Banks exhaust and really like it. Fit and finish is second to nome. Since I'm selling the truck, the exhaust goes.

 

thanks guys i appreciate it i should be getting the kit at the beginning of the week. I want some more noise but not overly loud and i have the k&n cold air intake so that should help out as well. I looking forward to the results
