i would say MBRP from what i have been told by folks on here. they are probably very close if you get the muffler delete pipe but i believe the banks has a bigger muffler.

i got the mbrp because i wanted the look of 2 4" pipes coming out the back, instead of 2 3.5". I like the system, but i just straight piped it. I think the MBRP is supposed to be louder, but i am not sure. if you want it loud get a muffler delete pipe.

The MBRP mufflers definatly drone more, Banks is a quality exhaust and they really do stand behind their products (good warranty service) if anything happens to it. I almost forgot that I put it on my truck because It has no issues ever! I put alot of highway miles on my truck and it is nice not having to listen to that drone.

As far as performance benefits there probably about the same

The MBRP system will sound a little more aggressive than the Banks kit. I would not worry about drone with an LBZ as they remain quiet even if you straight pipe it. MBRP makes very high quality kits and I would put them up against Banks any day of the week.

I have the MBRp duals and 90% of my driving is highway. I do not notice any drone, in fact overall it is quieter than I thought it would be.

MBRP makes a great exhaust, that is all I will say.

Both systems are high qaulity.Both will give you great flow but if quiet is what you want go Banks.

Where did you get your Banks and how much you paid for it?

I have to agree that both systems are great. Although the LBZ is one of the quietest diesel motors out there, you would find a duals system a little louder than your stock exhaust (if that's what you're looking for). Are you looking to go cat back + cat delete? I'm sure any of the supporting vendors on this site could set you up with an amazing system......
