Why banks?

I'm just curious to why people seem so Banks friendly? (just an observation) I personally have never been too impressed by Bank's product or Gale Bank's "knowledge" of diesels. I'm sure there are better alternatives to banks that are much cheaper. It just seems to me that when you buy Banks your paying too much for too little, while there are smaller name places that will give you better gain for the same prices. It just seems people are buying stuff just for the name. Personally I would pay a smaller company the same or more for my performance products. Your getting more gain and helping the little guy.

I was wondering if anyone feels the same way? ( I know many will disagree with me)

When I Bought My Truck, Banks Was Already On It. Paper Work Says It Was Installed April Of 1988. Truck Was Produced March 0f 88. May Be Pricey, [do Not Know For Sure, Never Purchased One By Itself]. No Complaints Here.

Both Banks and ATS turbo systems sell for about the same price if you compare apples to apples.
Banks wants more dollars, but the exhaust system is included.
ATS is cheaper till you add the exhaust system to the price.

Hypermax I think is a bit cheaper, but I am not sure what you get included for their price.
