Wow, that thing sounds mean, not even like a diesel.
Looks like Banks is doing well with their own ****. Now if they could put that kind of effort into the products they sell, they may turn out to be an alright company

It's always cool to know someone working on monsters like that.


That's an awesome truck -- still freaks me out to hear the diesels run at such low (relatively speaking) rpms!

Not that I pay attention all that much to their product line but what do you guys mean by "put that kind of effort into their products"? Are their products not giving promised results or breaking or causing problems or just suck?

Banks makes some solid products, But when you starrt doing your homework youll find other products that are so much better/ powerful. Banks is overpriced for what you get IMHO. Banks= Diesel kinda like Hypertech = gas tuners if you get my drift.
