What about Banks?

I just purchased a 2010 F-150 and am looking at exhaust and noticed nobody mentions Banks. Why?

Not a popular set up for F150.

Banks is much more known for their diesel products, though they do carry a more or less complete line of aftermarket mods for F150s including tuners, intakes, headers, exhausts and a few other parts. They tend to be on the higher dollar side than similar products though, probably because of the name and popularity from the diesel world. I've seen some reviews that the products seem to be of very good quality though.

If your gonna spend the money on a cat back kit, go with the Roush Off Road.

I have heard the Banks Monster exhaust on a 5.4L and it sounds great. There are a couple of members here with their catback that really like them.
It has a good low rumble at idle, and sounds great when you're on the throttle. From what I hear it doesn't drone on the highway either, probably similar to MBRP as far as sound.

I had one on my 04 and if they made it in black I would buy it again in a heart beat. I couldn't say a bad thing about it.

banks is not popular in the diesel world, they are high dollar and slam everyone of their competitiors that build higher hp trucks it doesnt matter if it's a dmax,cummins or powerstroke

Banks makes a good cat-back, but its too tame and boring for most peoples preferences.
