I am considering upgrading the exhuast system on my GMC 3500 Duramax dually to a 4" system. The choices I am presented with from the dealer here in Anchorage are a Banks or a Diamond Eye 4" turbo back exhaust system. The Banks system is $200 more expensive. The Banks name can stand on its own, but Diamond Eye... I have never heard of before. I am leaning toward Banks as my choice, but would like some feedback.

Take a look at the ATS dual exhaust kit. Easy to put on youself, and it looks and sounds so fine....

I am still leaning toward the Banks system, but was wondering what kind of rear wheel horspower increase could I reasonably expect by upgrading from the factory 3" exhaust to the Banks 4" system?

I run the Diamond Eye, love it. Excellent quality, excellent fit, the price is right.

Man run the Diamond or really just keep looking. Banks stuff is over priced and you can get the same quality and results (or better results) from many other brands for a much cheaper price. Banks is so known just simply because they spend a lot of money into PR running ads and everything else.

Thanks for your comments...I think that I am going to keep shopping for the right mix of price and quality.

Turbo-TA ,

Give us a call we can ship you an MBRP 409 stainless system for approx the price you suggested for the Diamond Eye system. Chcek the site here on MBRP loooots of folks are running it. Punch it into our on line site, it usually gets AK and HI folks a real good price on UPS as it hasn't got the correct ability to calculate the UPS correctly.

Banks. It outflows all of the other aftermarket mufflers out there.

If what your looking for is something with the noise levels of stock with no drone but with the EGT drop and power of an aftermarket system we've got what your looking for! The TTS SS catback system is less than $500 with a full system for less than $700
