Hasn't been talked about in a while so i was jsut curious if any release dates have been confirmed.

 

Banks does not have much to show for the 6.4. They want to be emission compliant, which means there is very little they can offer for the truck that will not effect the performance and longevity of the DPF. They're offer a DPF back exhaust system that is basically the stock system minus the "fake" muffler. They also offer an intake system equipped with a K&N filter, which is a big no no for diesels.

If you want power go with SCT or Spartan. Then from there the sky's the limit.

 

The key thing I want out of Banks is the rumored air to air with new piping. Have you ever looked at the pipe that goes past the radiator on the passenger side of your truck? Its pinched pretty bad.

 

I thought Banks said in a few threads ago that come Dec they would have an "Off-Road" DPF delete kit out. Is that still true??

 

Actually right now we offer single and dual exhaust systems as well as a dual tip single and a quad tip dual exhaust. It's also much more the just a "stock system with no muffler". It actually incorporates our new cooling system that lowers the tip temp under the stock system (and far lower than any other exhaust system out there) while improving the exhaust flow in the replaced area by 73%. As for the air box it most certainly IS NOT a K&N filter. It's a new filter we make in house and is double the thickness of a K&N (K&N only has 4 layers and ours has 8) and it filters slightly better then stock filter can while improving air delivery. The air box and filter has 31% better flow then stock and is fully compatible with the factory sensors so it won't throw any CEL's. Our new Six Gun tuners will be ready in a few weeks and will make and aditional 118hp over stock, will be change on the fly (no reprogramming needed to change power setings) and will work on the max power settings and will be fully compatible with the factory DPF.

 

We are working on a CAC system that should be ready in a few months. The biggest thing is getting the castings made for the end tanks and rearanging the boost tubes. I'll keep you posted on it's development.

 

That would be our BankSpeed tuning system. The target date is still the end of the year on that product line but I'll keep you posted.

Why would a K&N type filter be a no no?

 

What is the efficiency of this product? More soot than stock or less? Any MPG improvement?

 

[quote=The_Juice;6427004]The K&N filter is a 4 layer cotton gauze filter that uses oil to trap the small particles of dust (I know, duh). On a N/A application these work fine, flow well, and can be used nearly forever. The main problem is that the media (cotton) isn't thick enough to trap small particles of dirt when it's used with a forced induction application (like our turbo charged diesels). When this filter type is subjected to high vacume the filtration rating drops from over 99% down to around 93% (not good). By comparison our 8 layer filter, under the same conditions, has a filtration rating of 99.46% (using the ISO 5011 test).

 

Thanks, can u pm me a price on the intake? I have an 08 f350.

 

I assume you mean the tuner? All of our tuning systems for all late model trucks equipped with a DPF will produce less soot then stock even at the higher power settings. We're able to verify this by actually taking samples of the exhaust before the DPF and measure the size and denisity of the soot particles. They will not affect the DPF in any way allowing the DPF system to last well over 100,000 miles.

 

As far as MPG?

 

There is an MPG improvment but as the final testing hasn't been completed yet I don't know how much. I'll post up our final numbers when the system is released from our engineering department.

 

Will the 6 gun offer any different transmission shifting strategy?
