Banks Cat Back???

Anyone have one of the Banks Cat Backs put on their new F150's? I'm wondering how it might stack up (sound wise)with a similiar Magnaflow system?

Talking

This one sounds interesting... I had a informal poll about exhausts a while back...and I recv'd all kinds of good responses. I'd like to see how this one pans out.



To go a bit off topic..
Besides of justifying the change... of a perfect "fine" exhaust...(for me) I'm a bit leary of invalidating portions of warranties and any future TSBs (exh. related of course)

I have the Magnaflow 16612 SI/SO and love the performance and sound. Banks makes an awesome product, I had a Banks system on my 2003 Jeep Rubicon. The performance was great, but it sounded just like stock. I am not sure what it would sound like on the F150. It is all a matter of preference. I do however love the gel sticker/decal that comes with the banks system - Banks Power.

Yeah, I'm thinking it's going to be hard to go wrong with the Magnaflow, but I would like to find at least one person with a Banks system on a 04-06 F150 to hear what they have to say.

I've got the Banks and would have to say it has a milder sound than you will get from magnaflow. Its not a loud exhaust my K&N makes more noise than it. I think its not as poppy sounding as magnaflow so if you want a quiet exhaust at cruising speed banks is probably the way to go.
