I installed a Banks Monster Exhuast(single). I did the install in about 1 hour(no ramps or lift) or it would have taken even less time, VERY simple install, easy to follow instructions and everything fit perfectly. The exhaust sounds GREAT, I wouldn't call it quiet, but it is not loud, nice low throaty rumble.
Kinda hard to hear without a sound clip!! I have one on my 06 DC and it gets better after break in, it's not a flow master but i did not want anything that loud. I have a sound clip in my album!
Sorry about no sound clip( hell, I'm not even sure how to do one), been raining here non-stop all day. Plus I spent too many hours hand washing and waxing that damn truck to take it out and get it all messy right away. I didn't even get a chance to get it out on the highway and see how it sounds at 70-75mph. It did sound very tame cruising at 55mph though, no drone!
I would love a sound clip. This is the same set up im looking at getting. Nice choice!

I heard a Monster the other day, first hand. The exhaust was right in the open window of my truck as we drove between stop lights, so I heard it at idle and under normal acceleration in traffic.
I asked the driver and he said he had the entire intake, intercooler and exhaust kit.
It was amazingly mellow and quiet. Impressive, indeed.
In fact........the exhaust was almost drowned-out by the rattling V8 of the F-250.
Just finished installing Banks Monster exhaust on my 06 Tundra Access Cab. It took me about 1.5 hours as I struggled taking the factory exhaust out and I did the install by myself without raising the truck. The hardest part was unhooking the old exhaust from 3 hanger locations. Installing the new one took only about 30 minutes. It helps to use lubricant to remove the rubber grommet from hangers. I haven't driven the car yet but I did start the engine. Wow, it sounds amazing at idle and WOT. I've noticed deeper rumbling noise inside the vehicle with doors shut and windows rolled up. I think I gained few horsepower from how freely the engine revs now. After I take a shower, I'm going to head out for a test drive and eat some good lunch. Oh, and I have True Flow intake system on my truck already (not just the drop-in filter but with True Flow intake tube) so those two mods should work together well.
