I would love to have a banks system on my truck but I do not have the cash floatin around. I went with the diamond eye because it is mandrel bent and the muffler is straight through. I think most exhaust systems now days are about all the same. Besides it is not a real big power adder. I would suggest installing one if you ever want to run a programmer

After reading and reading on here, I went with the MBRP 4" system turbo back (installed myself), the only complaint I have is that I should have done it sooner.
Power on

The air box impellar is between the air box and the fender where the air comes in to the air filter. I removed it because it was a big piece of plastic blocking the air from coming in to my motor. I also read on a thread here it would help your MPG so it came out. It helped on my LMM and My LBZ. Around 1mpg but the mod was free so I am not complaining

All I can tell you is, I had a MBRP Stainless system, and I had to do some "mods" to get it on. After it was on it was great, but then I got a Banks dual system and when taking the MBRP system off after only 3 months of use, I was disappointed in the rust build up and how bad it seized the parts together. It looked like a 6 year old exhaust. The Banks was a perfect match up, easy to install, and I just checked it a week ago for rusting, and it is still as shiny as when I got it. Plus it's a lifetime warranty. The majority of people on here will tell you Banks is overpriced...but I feel you get what you pay for...the exhaust system def. showed that.....and Banks has a better warranty than most companies.
