I have heard many of you harp on the negative effects of exhaust on performance (low end especially), but I am very interested in the Banks Monster for my 4.6 liter.

Opinions on the system? Anyone have one of these?

 

Ram SS/T has one on his 5.4L truck, there's a thread floating around here somewhere about it.

 

i have the monster exhaust(just waitin to install it) and i have done alot of research and from what i have found i havent heard that it causes you to lose power, from what i have read it actually makes more power. And almost everyone that has it on loves it!

 

dude, i dont know what there talking about when they say you lose low end?
I just had a muff. shop take off two cats and run true duel's out i've got alot more power every were!

 

I hust installed mine on a 5.4 and i love it. I got better sound and more power.

 

Jangeloni, I was wanting to take two of my cats out also. Is your truck loud? I have true dual straight pipes, but would like to take out at least two cats. Did you take out the front or rear cats?

 

Thanks for the replies.

I am VERY tempted to buy a Monster soon.

 

Im almost positive you'll have four cats but just make sure. But, if you do than remove the two rear ones, you need the front ones.

 

I have 30" glasspacks and 4" tip's, its very mellow but mean!
I have all way's had strait out's but i have a little girl on the way and i wanted some thing a little softer sounding.
hey thump the 04's do have 4 cats but the o2 censers are in front so no cel's for me!

 

i dont mean to hijack the thread after this but i know a friend of mine has the banks monster and me and him have both noticed a good deal in power and the 5 inch tip along with the sound is just better then turning on the stereo....and i made a thread about this a while back before my friend jason got his....and everyone else says they love it.

seoncdly......what exactly is a glasspack?

 

I believe some late model 04s have two cats and they have a set of O2 sensors before and after the first set of cats. Correct?

 

Hey Thumper, I checked and I do have four cats, so I guess I will take out the two rear ones. Thanks

 

It's a strait through fiberglass packed muffler (kinda like a resonator) they only cost $25 each allot less than flowmaster's!
