Roush offroad or Banks monster

I was set on the Roush offroad but then i see everyone talking about the banks monster exhaust. Which one is louder and better for performance gains. It will be a dual rear exit setup on an 2007 fxf screw.
Thanks guys

Judging by the videos i've seen, Roush would sound better, my opinion.

I have the Banks Single Rear Exit and it sounds 100% better in person than in a video! I give it 3 thumbs up

I have the Banks and love it! I had a flowmaster on my truck for the first 2 years and changed over to the banks after hearing it in person. I have a lot of looks when I pass people now with the banks from the sound and the 5" tip get some attention too!
Banks all the way!

The Banks system uses an 18" round magnaflow muffler. The Roush Offroad uses a 9" Borla muffler. It is MUCH louder and sounds wayyyy better.

I just put my Roush Offroad muffler on Monday, tired of the droning blowmaster. It sounds mean, i'll post a sound clip later.

Right on with the Maggie/Borla info mSaLL150

I guess I'm probably not going to be any help here because I'm probably 50/50 but what comes to mind for me is if you like the Banks, but want louder, piece your own system together with an 11" or 14" Magnaflow, like mine or DarrenWS6 (and others, not trying to leave anyone out).

As for Roush, you did mention performance, I'm not sure if there are any other companies out there that focus their engineering etc on Ford more than Roush, you know Jack's company is dead on there.
