Need your Input- Performance over Sound

Need some advice for an exhaust system for my 06 5.4L. I'm currently running a stock exhaust but am going to upgrade as soon as you people help out (this site is great for this).

I'm not looking to go loud. I want to stick with a single exit system that will help on all ranges of performance. I have no clue where to begin, and I'm not really familiar with all the different series/sizes of Flowmaster & Magnaflow systems. The only system that has caught my eye is the Banks Monster setup. I have seen the Banks videos on YouTube, but I really can't tell if the sound will be over the top in person.

So what do you recommend

Thanks for all your help!

Stevo

Magnaflow 14" Body! Not too loud, but loud enough, and add some performance.

He also has his dumped...which will make it a little louder then it would be if was ran to the back of the truck. I have a magnaflow 14 inch and i LOVE it. My video may not help because I have hi flow cats installed as well, but here it is...

Remember, just because its loud in the video doesnt mean its gonna be loud in the cab. I can barely here mine unless im really gettin on it and its rebirvirating off something.

The banks kits dont sound too good in my personal opinion, not as deep toned as Magnaflows.

I agree, never been too big of a fan of the Banks.
