Pictures are in my album, I am officially addicted to this site and now my neighbors think I'm a nut.
Here's a sound clip - I had to compress the file on top of the fact that I live on the lake and it's really windy and snowing out, so sorry about quality loss:

Hit the rev limiter there a little did yah ;-) Still waiting for mine to come in. Looking forward to it!
yes I did, I was freezing and tense gimme a break ...I like it so far, pretty much what I expected after all the research, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

ok guys if anyone interested in my banks exhaust here is a clip tat ijust made tonight. sorry the quality is terrible but this gives you an idea of how loud this got with no cats and longtubes. compared to the guy that just posted a clip of his lol CRAZY differenc. heres mine, thanks in advance.
You have to expect more sound with the cats removed. How about throwing a couple resonators or "straight through" style mufflers up front where the cats used to be.
I know the exhaust is still brand new and has not been fully broken in yet but, what is your but dyno telling ya? Is there any performance gain or mpg gain compared to what Banks marketing group is stating? I am also interested in this exhaust but am more interested in the performance and mpg gains then merely just exhaust notes. Thanks.

First off, I'm not really sure performance gains should be of your concern with your little supercharger toy you have . I don't think throwing on any exhaust is going to matter as long as you have that SC! I did a lot of reading before I went with this system - my biggest concern was LOSS of low end torque, I couldn't really care less about any gains that were claimed, because after all that's all it is, just a company claiming something. So far, I haven't experienced any loss of torque and as a matter of fact, the truck pulls a little harder through mid-range RPMs. Hope this helps.

I'm looking at the single as well. I have the same concern with losing low-end torque, so I'm a bit hesitant because I'll be towing a boat with a camper.
What's the diameter of the stock exhaust piping vs. the 3" banks? The stock looks 3" already, if so why not just replace the muffler and exhaust tip? I don't have my truck yet (not until next week), so I just took a quick look at the stock piping.
I want the sound as described by the OP...not too loud, quiet at cruising, but I can't afford to lose anymore torque that will be gone with bigger tires. Thought about the JBA headers to get back the low-end torque, but running out of funds.

The stock exhaust is 2 3/4" from the muffler to tailpipe outlet, varying wildly from 2 1/8" to 2 3/8" from the exhaust manifolds to the muffler.

Just ordered my single side Monster Exhaust!!! Can't wait!

I do appreciate your comments. Enjoy the exhaust....
