Question Exhaust ???

What kind of exhaust is the best for our V10's? Banks Power Pack System claims +56 hp, +67 lb-ft torque, and the Stinger system claims 35 hp, +42 lb-ft torque. I feel very confident that these numbers are very inflated but I'd buy the system if I got half the claims in power. Has any one tried one of these exhausts? Gimme some input on the exhaust you used and what kind of power inprovment you got and the sound.

Well, you cannot go wrong with the full Banks system. Especially if you have the money. Some would argue that you can get products just as good for less but I tend to believe that you get what you pay for when it comes to Bank's quality of build.

BTW, the Power Pack is the headers and Ottomind, too. The Stinger is just the cat-back system & intake.

Banks Power Pack System claims +56 hp, +67 lb-ft torque for around $2000, and the Stinger system claims 35 hp, +42 lb-ft torque for under $1000. If you figure $100 per hp, even if you get half the claims, its a bargin.

Don't buy directly from Banks! The Power Pack can be had without the Ottomind chip for around $1500, the Stinger for $600

Yeah, I havnt shopped around yet, just really looking for some input on this paticular system. I dont pay retail for anything. Finding the best deal is half the fun. My middle name is "dont pay retail for s#*t". Thanks for the advice though.

Well, it's the Cadiliac of exhausts.... Best there is. I havn't read of anyone not liking it and the power is there. If you've got the buck$ go for it. Similar systems can be pieced together for a little less $$ like Borla and Thorley.
