They say over priced and over rated. Whatever, opinions are like a__holes. everyones got one.
Sure you can get a $400 aluminized system that might last 3-4 years in NewEngland. But isn't you truck worthy of a $600 all stainless with a lifetime warranty???

I think the drone comes from a number of things like length, number of bends, where it exits on the truck. I have a dead cat and BTM and I have never noticed any drone, in fact unless I role the window down, I can't hear the exhaust, can really hear the turbo though, and I like that sound.

MY OPINION IS.... THAT WHEN ENOUGH PEOPLE ( MOST OF THE PEOPLE ) COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION ( THAT BANK'S PRODUCTS ARE OVERPRICED AND OVERRATED ) , THEN IT CAN NO LONGER BE CONSIDER OPINION.... BUT AT THAT TIME BECOMES PROVEN FACT
I HAVE AN A__HOLE TOO AND I'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE PRODUCTS THAT ARE USED ON MY TRUCK.
I'VE COME TO THE OPINION LIKE MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT ... IT'S A NO BRAINER... HANDS DOWN.... " BANKS IS ONE OF THE MOST OVERPRICED OR HIGHLY PRICED PERFORMANCE COMPANYS OUT THERE.
ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SAME RESULTS ARE ACHIEVED FROM NON-BANKS PRODUCTS WHICH LAST JUST AS LONG IF NOT LONGER.
JUST MY OPNION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Black cloud prices vs Banks direct
MBRP t409 system. $449 + $49 shipping + $50 tip = $548 Banks $593 all included
Edge Evolution $375 Banks SixGun $381 Shipped
TS Single chip $325 Banks $361
Edge- been in business since 1999
TS- since 1997
MBRP- 1990
Banks- In business since 1958. And there stuff is designed to work as a system.
Not a bunch of mismatched stuff for a difference of $87. and actually add shipping to the chip and Evo $20.
So $67 difference

IF THIS IS WHAT IT IS...... EXAUST SEEMS LOUDER AT THAT SPEED.
GOES AWAY AS SOON AS I GET UP TO ABOUT 65 MPH AND GOES AWAY COMPLETELY WHEN I'M CRUISING AT 69-70 MPH.
ANYWAY ....... I DON'T DRIVE AT THE DRONING SPEED TOO MUCH.
OOOOO KKKKKK .......NO MORE BANKS BASHING
