Alot of guys here are switching FROM Banks TO others, and not going back. I was going to post this in your other thread about your new truck. However, look at this page before buying ANYTHING...

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! The Monster exhaust is good but expensive, the 6 Gun has 6 levels and all you get is 60 extra hp.. Is it better than stock, Yes, but anything is. Do it right the first time, spend your money wisely on products that will perform.

I Was not happy with the six gun, nice attention to detail but way to much money, you can get alot more for less!

I know, I know. I'm holding out for the pillar mounted Dp Tuner switch. I know that as soon as buy the DpTuner then the pillar mount will come out, but if I wait it takes a long time....

Same here, my Banks 6 gun sits in my gauge pod now, I want to put the Dp Tuner there instead of mounting a new gauge there. I will keep waiting.

How stupid of Banks to call a 1.0 exhaust housing a "Quick Spool" turbine.
