Monster Flow, Performance, Sound & Looks
3" stainless constant-diameter direct-fit cat-back exhaust cuts backpressure up to 94% and improves 0-60 mph acceleration times by 4.5%.
Monster® Exhaust
Banks' 3" constant-diameter Monster exhaust pipes—formed of heavy-duty stainless steel—bolt behind the catalytic converter to slash backpressure up to 94%, improving 0-60 mph acceleration times by 1/3 of a second (4.5% quicker). The straight-through 3" Monster muffler delivers a throaty, yet civil, exhaust note and more than doubles stock flow (up to a 141% improvement). 6"X5" weld-on ob-round polished-stainless angle-cut rolled-edge tip (patent pending). Installation of the direct-fit system is bolt-on easy. Fully compatible with GM's factory warranty, the entire system is covered by Banks' lifetime warranty. (Monster Exhaust for 6.0L includes Y-pipe; shown below)

Wanted something better than Flowmaster
I own a 2004 Chevy silverado with a 5.3 Engine. I had a flowmaster exhaust on it! But wanted something better. So i did some looking and found Banks. And i couldn't be happier! Easy to install and looks great? And for performance wow such a great upgrade It gets up and goes with such ease.
