yup, I've got one & love it. Very easy to install & well worth the money. The sound is very nice on the ears. Idle is a quiet burble, as is crusing but when you're giving it gas the sound is very angry. I put mine on w/ an Airaid @ the same time so, I really felt a change in power. All & all I'm very happy with the Banks purchase over Magnaflow or Borla. Now I'm just waiting till Xmas to ask the woman for a Superchips tuner!

Triton, thanks for the info. I got the tuner for my truck since I put the lift on and 35's. Made a big difference and was able to re-calibrate my speedo in the process. If you get it, change the 1-2 shift range to +6-8 PSI over stock. The superchips setting almost slams from one gear to the other. A bit too harsh for me.

i was thinking about swapping mine out for a flowmaster dual out side exit, but i want them to exit around the rear bumper on either corner. the banks is a bit too mellow for me... i like a louder more aggressive exhaust. but the banks i noticed a great power increase and no low end power loss so i am not sure i want to take it off..... ON THE FENCE!

I put the Banks on about 3 weeks ago. Sounds great. It took me about 1 hour to take the old system off and put the new one on. Very easy if you have ever worked on cars before. I purchased the system directly from Banks and it cost including shipping $508 total. That was shipping it from CA to Pittsburgh PA. I think it is something to look in to.

I ordered mine from www.proficientperformance.com for $436 w/ free shipping. They shipped it straight from Banks & it got here in 7 days.

I ordered mine today for $509 from Banks. Wish I would have seen you post triton but no big deal. Looking forward to putting it on. Does anyone know if there is any cutting or what size tools you need?

I just had a Banks powerpack w/ transcommand installed on my 1996 34' motorhome last week at Banks facility in Azuza, BIG difference in power.
While i was there, i told him i had a 2004 F-150 with the 4.6, and would the banks system give me improvement in performance...he told me it would help, but the improvement would be minimal.

no cutting, Just a mallet & some WD-40 to help w/ banging off the stock exhaust. The Banks sys. Installs with box end wrenches or a socket & rachet. Sorry I didn't post the prcie up earlier
but you're still getting a great system
