Banks stuff

I'm kind of curious about the Banks Power line of products, namely their lower-end stuff, as I'm just a poor workin' stiff who doesn't have any money. Anybody who's tried them out have opinions and some idea about how much money they might set me back. In particular, I like the Git Kit or the Stinger. How much improvement can I expect, and how much money will I need?

Thanks in advance.

I purchased the complete kit for my 93 F350 460, last spring. It cost me $1800.00. I will say that the Banks stuff is really nice, Quality is top notch, and the fit was almost right on...I did fight the header bolts. More on removing the old setup, than installing the new, And it is a do it yourself project if you are an octopuss. Also, it took me a little bit longer than the 7 or 8 hours that they predict it would take a backyard mech. to do the job. If I remember right it took me about 3 complete afternoons to finish it. but like I said the old stuff was a bugger to get out.

If I needed to buy Headers again. I would get the Banks...
It costs a bit more but I believe that the quality is worth it...

OOPS!!! you also asked if there was any changes.
Yes, I noticed that my truck will rev alot quicker, and that it seems to breath alot better.
Performance wise, I didn't notice any milage changes, but mine isn't stock. It did improve the bottom end torque, it climbs the mountains with my 5th wheel at a lower RPM. And that means less gear changes...

I'm happy with the Banks system...
