Anyone have any new from banks on when the six gun will be available for the LLY. And does the cat back monster exhaust from banks really help the performance of the LLY any at all.

I installed a cat back monster exhaust from banks. Very easy to install. I can't say it gave me any more power or mpg. It did lower my exhaust temps a little. It sounds great but not too loud.

12/10/2004 they are due. I was told the new set-up for the LLY would make all the others look like B&W TV! We'll see...

I called Banks yesterday, 12/6/04, and the rep informed me that the components had been sent out for assembly and packaging and would be available for purchase within the next few weeks or early January at the latest.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Exhaust fits great for Extended cab needed to shorten per instructions other than that. Working Great. Although was curious if they make down tube by pass for Cat for offroad use only.

The waiting is the worst. But it does give you a chance to do a little research on the mods you want. As for me it's been 10 weeks and counting for my truck to arrive.:mad:

Does anyone have a sound file of the Banks exhaust system? I'd like to get an aftermarket exhaust, it's just hard to know which one to get if you can't hear it first.

I recently installed the banks 6 gun with monster exhaust and it wasn't very difficult to install. I'll try to get a sound file for all, but I need someone to host it.

I've had my Monster Exhaust for months now. My husband said I could'nt get it if it was loud and it actually is very quiet, just throatier sounding. I can only hear it from outside the truck. With the exhaust and K&N filter installed, on the same roads pulling the same weight it downshifts almost none now. That is the only thing I can tell, but that is enough for me. I just got a tracking # from Banks, my 6-gun is on the way. I hope the speedloader is with it, because they said they were backordered. Installing Transfer Flow 50 gal. Tank/toolbox combo next thursday, hope 6-gun is here then also. I'll let you know how it runs.

Installed the Banks Monster Exhaust about 3 weeks ago. Cut up the old exhaust to get them out, smooth after that. Sounds good when I ride in the Truck, at first I just fired it up & couldn't tell much difference, but after actually driving it, it sounds real nice with that nice deep rumble. My system is from Turbo back no Cat. Banks emailed me on Tuesday & gave me a tracking # for my 6 gun & speed loader, should be here today. Got to reasearch the Egt probe a little more before I install.

In that case, let me run outside and get that sound file for all. Be back in a few minutes!

Guys,

The diesel engine over powers any type of exhaust sound produced. I tried many multiple ways and you can still here more of the engine!:eek: I will email blown65 what I have and maybe he can help me pick a worthy file. Hope it works!

Thanks for all the feedback... I'm leaning towards the turbo-back application.

I took it upon me to start my own page!):h So, the following links will have 15 exhaust sounds. Keep in mind, the quality may not be that great, but I am open to suggestions on how to record the best sounding audio clip. Enjoy!:)
