I'm looking into making a couple of adjustments to my Titan, the usual intake and exhaust mods. Looks like most folks like the Volant, but there seems to be little difference in peformance and noise between the mix of intake kits. I used to use K&N on all my motorcycles and so would probably lean that way. But I see that Banks now builds a stainless 3 inch exhaust for the Titan. Banks is pretty good but I'm wondering if anyone has done the install yet. Curious about in-cab boom and drone.

There are quite a few posters with the Banks system. I haven't heard one personally so I can't comment on the sound. If you want to hear what a flowmaster system sounds like go here: http://www.projectindustries.com/images/im000193.mpg

It's nice. There are some sound clips over at titantalk. Do a search there.

Put one on mine, loud as hell. The tail pipe Banks gives you is 5 inches round. Didn't like the look of mine, had a 3 inch magnaflow put on instead.
Try the Flowmaster if you want it louder than stock but still livable. But there are alot of other great system too. B&B, Borla, Gibson, depends on how much money you want to spend.
Banks cost me 450.00 shipped and 40.00 for the new tail pipe.

I would just like to make a comment about Banks products. Everytime Banks has been on Trucks TV never once have they showed dyno runs. To me that shows you can't back up your product. Also last year I went to 2 truck shows that had dyno runs the trucks at the top didn't have Banks in them. I don't want to bash there products but if any of you have noticed this post a reply.

Magnaflow, but there wasn't any Titians up there, mostly diesals. Titans are so new there isen't a huge range of producta yet. I went with magnaflow because they have a lifetime warranty never to rust. All steel parts.

There was an episode on Shadetree Mechanic on Speed Channel (it was a couple of years ago) and they put a kit on a Powerchoke, I mean, Power Stroke and it put out more power than Banks had advertised on their (the TV show's) dyno. My dad has a complete Banks kit on his 02 Dodge dually and from 70 mph he will straight kick my *** unless I use nitrous. Their stuff works. I dropped a solid 0.1 sec in the 1/4 mile with the Banks kit I put on. At the time it equated to 9hp at the wheels. I think they will tell you it gets more than that over the phone, if you ask. But vehicles vary so they might have gotten more with their test mule.

Hey man thanks for posting about Banks. I've never seen that show but I've only just started to get into trucks so when I see something I question it.
But that's why I joined Club Titan to learn and see what other people know.
