With so many products out there it is so hard to decide on what to get. i'm leaning towards the Banks monster system. then i found out about the gibson dual sport. has anyone used this system? how does it sound? it's got to look very cool with dual 4" tips in the back.


from what i have read here most people said the the banks system is not all that loud. can someone tell me in detail what kind of sound i would expect from the banks system.


thanks

I've always used Gibson on numerous vehicles prior to this truck. Gibson is a fine exhaust and the sound is mellow but very nice.


This time I went with Magnaflow for no particular reason other than a package deal and Im really happy with the sound on the Dmax. The Magnaflow seems to be a touch louder than Gibson, but barely.


Quality and fitment is identical on the Magnaflow and Gibson, but you can get Aluminized in the Gibson to save some money if you live in a drier climate as I do.


IMO, the main reason for exhaust is to lower EGTs and then to sound good and then to look good. Its hard for me to believe you could go wrong with any of the big names as long as they're 4" and mandrel bent. Just buy the tip(s) to suit your taste

From what I understand, there is no such thing as too Little back pressure with a Turbo.

krash610,


Yes 2 3 inch outlets will cause some back pressure, that's why we ONLY use two 4 inch outlets for our dual Duramax systems with two 5 inch polished T-304 Stainless steel rolled egde tips. It's kind of like putting the "potatoe" after the muffler if you reduce the size of the tubing! If anything you want to increase the size of the tubing the further you get from the origination point instead of reducing it. Call us if you have any questions etc.
