    Default Any BANKS MONSTER EXHAUST owners?

    Hey guys i'm looking into getting a Banks Monster Exhaust with the single 3" pipe, 5" tip on my 04' 5.3L. I'm obviously looking for the performance increase, but I also want a system that isn't so loud. From what I can see this system fits what i'm looking for, and all the reviews have been great. If anyone could provide some additional info or opinions I would appreciate it, thanks!

    Thumbs up Any Banks Monster Exhaust owners

    I have 05 Silverado with Magnaflow. Banks didnt have exhaust at time I purchased my Magnaflow. Have installed Banks on other gas Silverados and I like the Banks better than my Magnaflow(sorry Gale). I did install Banks new Cold Air Intake (replaced my airaid with k&n, replaced k&n with Banks). The Banks CAI is best Ive ever had.

    Well, I think once I get my tax return back I will be purchasing the Banks Monster Exhaust. This system has everything I want...3" single stainless back to a 5" tip, isn't too loud but you know it's there when you step on it, can't wait!

    Gotta love that low rumble, sounds so much better than the higher toned exhausts like flowmaster or corsa!

    Aero turbine is exactly what you guys are looking for. It sounds good starting up its really not to loud at idle but when its wide open it really roars. Its not loud on the highway either.
