"Received the exhaust quickly from AutoAnything. The installation instructions were straight forward and also had a diagram for ease of installation. The factory exhaust came off very easy and the Banks exhaust installation was very easy. My son and I did the install in about 1 1/2...that's w/o ramps or lifting the vechicle. The Banks exhaust has a nice low distinctive growl. My son lit up when he started it for the 1st time. We did have a rattle develop and found that it was the last exhaust hanger vibrating up against the hanger bracket. We didn't have the tail pipe section totally inserted into the muffler, once we corrected that we've been good to go. Awesome sounding exhaust and the large 4" chrome tip finishes off the product nicely. I highly recommend this exhaust system!"

"this exhaust is a Christmas gift for our Wrangler, so we have not installed it yet. From inspecting it though, we are really anxious to install it. It will make a perfect additon to our mildly customized Jeep.....The exhaust will look great underneath it.......(maybe Christmas morning) Thanks again~!!!!!!"

"The original exhaust system rotted on my 2004 Titan and instead of replacing it with the same junk, I checked out the Banks Monster which is actually recommended by the Nissan Dealer. They wanted $850 installed or if I supplied it they would charge just $90 to install it. After researching the Monster system online, I decided to buy from Auto Anything. Best price and free shipping! I love the increased power, improved MPG and of course the throaty rumble. The dealership said that it was simple to install and that everything matched up perfectly."

"Fit and finish are excellent. Anyone with simple hand tools can install this exhaust; the key is to remove the factory hangers to get the old muffler and pipe off. The only disappointing thing is this exhaust has bad base reverberation in the truck cab around 1800 RPM which is annoying."

"After doing alot of research on exhaust systems I decided to go with the Banks kit. I am very happy with this kit overall. The installation went very well, the only difficulties were removing the factory pipe and lifting over the rear axle by myself. The Banks system went in very easy and quickly and mounted right up to the factory hangers with no issues. I noticed more power the first time I drove it after installing the new exhaust. I still catch myself turning off the radio and rolling down the windows just so I can hear it. I have only had it installed for about 3 weeks and havent really noticed any improvements in fuel mileage. I was hoping that my MPG would increase a little bit, but I havent seen any dramatic improvements. This was installed on a 2005 Ford F150 SuperCrew w/ 5.4 V-8"

Very easy to follow instructions and a aftermarket system that fits perfect just like it is supposed to. It looks and sounds great, not to loud but a nice low tone."

"I was amazed at how easily and quickly this system installed , it would have cleared my spare if not for the over sized tires that I run. You can feel the difference when pulling up hills and accelerating to pass that the exhaust isn't fighting to get out of the small factory pipe and muffler. The sound is virtually the same as stock just a little rumble when you start it , under a load you can hear it more but not so much that you can't stand it and it definetly looks good too. The tips are huge , maybe just a little too much but they are growing on me. Overall it definetly lives up to its monster name."

"I replace my exhaust because my stock system had rusted and the tale pipe had fallen off. I bought the Banks system because I knew it came with a new Y pipe section. Some of the other systems do not. The pipes of the Monster Exhaust are much bigger than the stock pipes, and the tip is just ridiculous at 5" It took me about 2hr to get the rusted old exhaust off and about 30 to 45 mins to install the Banks system. Fit and finish are good. The sound is deep and loud. You will hear it anytime you step on the gas light or hard.(even with the windows up and the radio on.) There will be no sneaking home late with this exhaust. It sounds fast ,but I doubt you'll notice any seat of the paints improvement unless you typically spend a lot of time above 4500 RPMs."

The sound is a little rumble at idle but it has a deep throaty roar when you get on it....and you know what I mean! Definitely recommended!"

"The system aligns pefectly with the hangers and sounds great. Not as loud as my previous experiences with flowmaster but still sounds nice. I had a muffler shop install the system. This is because of the welds which needed to be placed at the muffler connection points. I also had them weld the the nice five inch tip which would probably be stollen if it were not permenantly affixed. I have noticed a power increase and better fuel economy since this instillation and my previous Valant cold air intake. Great combination. I do not regret these purchases."

"Wow what a product. Installation took about 30 minutes with the help of a buddy. Great sound and I can feel the performance. First I added a TrueFlow air intake purchased from AutoAnything and the combination is awesome. The only time I do not hear the rumble in the cab is when I let off the throttle besides that kind of loud in cab so just crank up the radio. Next I plan on adding a performance programmer to finish off my upgrades. Horsepower is noticed at higher RPM right now but my next upgrade should let me feel it from the take off. Thanks AutoAnything for selling great products at great prices."
