you are 100% correct.

but you didnt get the power adding sticker that everybody loves to display with pride! mbrp makes perfect exhausts, very affordable. mine is home grown at the moment, but its bare steal and rotting fast so when it finally goes through i will be buying an mbrp kit. only problem is that i will need to modify it to clear the gooseneck hitch. no biggie though.

how is the truck driving pete?

ok break is over, back to pretending to work............................

Afternoon all. I looked at the MBRP, but I can't remember what steered me away from them. Banks threw my sale on last week sale price and absorbed the shipping. Then later they called and said the tail pipe won't fit my application so with a down pipe after the muffler, it was another $200 cheaper.

We are off to the AC/DC concert at Gillette stadium.

Its a Catch 22, more time equals more money. But we have to start a project at Eastern Ct State U next Monday, so I may be moving equipment all weekend.

Yea I love my MBRP exhaust. Sounds pretty awesome and it's nice and shiny. I got full stainless though because we live in the land of salt.

I really dislike Banks products. Very severely dislike Banks. It's an overly expensive product that is no better than any other product.

I read a description on a Banks exhaust. It said "Flows as well or better than stock"

If I'm spending a ton on Banks products I'd hope they kick the crap out of stock.

Banks puts all his money in advertising rather than improving his products.

Either way you go I recommend contacting Clay at RiffRaff diesel.
