The most popular exhaust on here is the MBRP Turbo back. I have the Banks turbo back and really like it. I did just order the MBRP cat delete pipe though to get rid of the cat and hopefully get the "jet" sound.

MBRP is the best setup going especially the way it retains the stock CAT. You can go with their new Cool Duals if you like the look and sound. You don't get any performance gains from duals.

If you do a search in the forums you will find hundreds of recent posts with endless info about this subject...This question gets asked a couple of times each week...You should pay between $675-$800 installed for the MBRP system. I paid $675 and was out of the shop in an hour and twenty minutes. You can do it yourself in an afternoon if you have the right tools and time. It wasn't anything I wanted to fight without a lift and gladly paid the extra $175 installation. Sounds great and No drone.

F250SDPowerStroke,

The guys are right either the MBRP or the AFE systems as they are the only two that allow you to keep the cat totally stock with no mods and also sub in a cat test pipe is you off road or race and need to legally drop the cat etc. The are available in various materials to get the price where you need it and also for the term of ownership and where you live etc enviroment wise.

If you have any questions on them just call us we'll be glad to help.

Oh! you will get plenty of jet sound. I have an MBRP turbo back/cat delete and I could not believe the jet whine. You will love it!

f-250sdpowerstroke, what it boils down to is that banks and mbrp give the same performance, mbrp is a little louder, and the mbrp is about $400 less. most people who have the banks exhaust only have it because it came with there power pack.mbrp sounds good, solid construction, easy installation and a great warrenty
keep it ford

DSMMH,

So do you have the Banks exhaust on your truck with the MBRP cat delete or the MBRP exhaust all the way back? If you have the Banks exhaust, I will have some questions for you on the install of the delete pipe.

Navy...Do you already have the Banks exhaust or are you still in the buying mode. If so you are much better off going with the MBRP. There is nothing to gain by going with the Banks exhaust unless you are getting a good deal or getting an entire Banks package.

No I have the Banks exhaust already and love it. I did get a good deal and it did come with my package though. I just ordered the MBRP cat delete pipe and most likely will have to modify it some to make it work.

Somewhere I have picts of a buddy's Banks exhaust with the MBRP delete pipe and the mods he did in steps. I'll see if I can dig them up before I go back on hitch(work). PM me with your email and I'll send them to you when I get them.
