I got my Banks cat-back today. I couldn't wait for the weekend so I threw it on today. One of the best fit systems I have put on (compared to Gibson & Dynomax). The only time consuming part was sitting under the truck with the dremel cutting (@ the axel)the stock system off. The install itself took about 15 min. The system is quite nice quality wise. The muffler is a straight through & the pipe work is stepped. The inlet pipe is 3" & after the muffler it steps up to 4" exiting trough a 5" tip. The sound is very deep & mellow. I reset the computer just for ****s. Gave it a little more poop & throttle response is better. All & all I'm very happy with it. The only observation I have is that the tip could have stayed at 4". Looking at it now makes me want to get some 22" wheels just so they look bigger than the pipe. Don't worry pics to come this weekend.

 

why'd you CUT your stocker off?????? mine bolted up with nothing more than a couple wrenches?

do agree tho, very high quality and i love the sound! i kinda like the big tip tho... different than the usual dual rear exits

 

Definitely need some pics!!

 

"why'd you CUT your stocker off?????? mine bolted up with nothing more than a couple wrenches?"


interesting. I saw in the instructions where it said to just unbolt your factory exhaust @ the muffler ends. Mine was welded on both ends for some reason. The only clamp I had to take loose was the pinch clamp @ the Y pipe. I had to unbolt the three hangers too.

 

curious... mine was welded as well but i took the entire stock exhaust out as one piece... instructions? those only slow ya down! haha

well built kit tho, fits like oem which is very rare!
