:dance2:
scarface805 08-01-2005, 09:57 PM do u guys think this is a better set up than the borla or flowmaster set-up??the price is great and i think i'm in, but u guys know what the linguring feeling feels like, especialy when it comes to our titans...i just wanna smoke the ram off the dodges and the f's out of the ford f-150s
scarface805 08-01-2005, 09:59 PM do u guys think this is a better set up than the borla or flowmaster set-up??the price is great and i think i'm in, but u guys know what the linguring feeling feels like, especialy when it comes to our titans...i just wanna smoke the ram off the dodges and the f's out of the ford f-150s
NKTITAN711 08-01-2005, 11:33 PM I think too many people up here will stop liking me if I say that it's "better" than the Flowmaster, it's a completely different sound. It's single exit, instead of dual exit. NOTE: I don't like that Flowmaster b/c it's a "fake" dual exit. Things like that are just frowned upon here. (meaning from the engine off both sides to a single muffler, then back out in 2 pipes. I like the rich roar that the Banks produces. It's a very "real" sound. The Flowmaster to me, has a backpopping sound which I hate! Some guys up here have flowmasters, and I LOVE it! I think the recordings are better than others. I simply prefer the Banks. I'm knocking their sytems, just telling you my personal preference. The choice is up to you. Us Banks guys will tell you "BANKS", and the Flowmaster guys will tell you "FLOWMASTER". Have fun deciding!
:rollingeyez:
NKTITAN711 08-01-2005, 11:35 PM Just re-read my post...
I'm NOT knocking their systems...
jerseyparts 08-02-2005, 10:46 AM LOL, I am staying out of this one, I don't want no one hating on me, I already started enough trouble around here....
SactoTitan 08-02-2005, 10:58 AM Im with NK here on the 'backpopping' - I hate that too. All systems will enhance the sound of our V8's - bottomline it comes down to personal preference, I've researched them all and found the sound and appearance I'm looking for in the Banks system. The big tip is perfect! Dimension wise it fits soo nice. Not to mention I can install it in my garage at home. Jersey put some really good videos:
http://www.clubtitan.org/postlite4845-banks.html+sound+clip
These really solidified my decision and I hope they help you.
scarface805 08-02-2005, 08:06 PM hey guys thanx for info..i guess i just need to make up my mind... :roll:
NKTITAN711 08-03-2005, 12:41 AM Ok, just make up your mind. We'd love to have you in on the group buy. Excellent opportunity to get a great exhast at a great price...
:hypnotiz: :future:
SactoTitan 08-03-2005, 10:10 AM Hey guys - anybody keeping track here? By my count we have 6 in and 2 that have expressed interest but haven't confirmed their participation.
Caltitan 08-03-2005, 10:27 AM Sorry to get off topic here, but regarding the Flowmaster cat back system, I have been running mine since January and have never heard any "back popping" from it. The tone has stayed very deep. Perhaps on a custom system and/or a different type of truck there is some of that noise. I also like the look of the dual pipes, despite what others may think of it. It's my truck and I'll have it look in a way that pleases me. As for the other manufacturers, I will let the owners of those comment as I have no experience with them although I have heard a few (Banks, Gibson, and Magnaflow) on Titans and still prefer the sound of my Flowmaster. Do let your personal taste play a part in your selection. There are many who have enjoyed the Banks and it should be a strong candidate for consideration. This is a good price on it and I am all for supporting our sponsors that bring great deals to this site.
NKTITAN711 08-03-2005, 02:14 PM Well said...
jerseyparts 08-03-2005, 07:22 PM Ok here is the run down so far, I am not sure where we got six at, I count 5 but here we go, IF i missed anyone please let me know and if I added you, and you are not sure yet, or not getting one, please also let me know:

Thats what I have so far, I think it has been on here long enough, if anyone wants to let other clubs know, go ahead, we have half of what we need, so lets get the other half and get this order in!
NKTITAN711 08-03-2005, 11:18 PM I'm trying to recruit some folks but nothing promising yet. I really don't want to miss out on this deal. I have the GREEN light on this buy as long as it is at this price. *fingers are crossed*
SactoTitan 08-04-2005, 10:34 AM Ok here is the run down so far, I am not sure where we got six at, I count 5 but here we go, IF i missed anyone please let me know and if I added you, and you are not sure yet, or not getting one, please also let me know:

I thought JetTech was in too, but looking back at his post, I think he was only in if the 10th was free and he got it! LOL!

Yeah JT already has exhaust...but if it's free...he'll take it!! But it would be great..cause he'd do dyno's and all that stuff on it.
Companies like Gale Banks would benefit greatly from someone like JetTech on the forums if there product was great. He'd throw it on...dyno it...all that fun stuff and give us what he thinks...and you konw alot of us would follow him.
SactoTitan 08-04-2005, 12:44 PM How about you Rossi - I read your specs and it looks like you could use a nice complimentary piece to that intake! LOL! We need to start putting the word out - only need 5 more!!
ecbmxer 08-04-2005, 12:46 PM How long is this group buy going on. I won't know if I can get one for a couple weeks still. I figure it will be over by then.
Rossi 08-04-2005, 12:50 PM How about you Rossi - I read your specs and it looks like you could use a nice complimentary piece to that intake! LOL! We need to start putting the word out - only need 5 more!!
I've got a Gison Dual Extreme system sitting in my garage right now....dying to put it on but i've got my 3 1/2 and 2 1/2 year old sons with me.
TENTITAN 08-04-2005, 12:51 PM If you can wait till next weekend i can get in this too just keep it posted, by the way any sound clips of this exhaust
SactoTitan 08-04-2005, 01:02 PM Great one on this thread:

NKTITAN711 08-04-2005, 03:00 PM Yeah, go to Page 2 of the above listed thread and check it out. I posted the link on this page to JayDee's exhaust. It's F'in awesome!

:headbanger:
SactoTitan 08-04-2005, 11:31 PM Ohh yeahhh - getting close now!! :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:
a4bry4 08-05-2005, 03:00 AM I'm in.
SilverTitan 08-05-2005, 07:29 AM I'm in too! Let me know who to pay! Let's get this going I can't wait!
SactoTitan 08-05-2005, 10:44 AM I think Silver make 10!! Make sure you PM Jerseyparts to reserve your Banks! Good job fellas - way to come through. Anybody in or near Sacramento? If so, lets hook up and install these badboys!
NKTITAN711 08-05-2005, 10:48 AM Yeah, silver made 10!!! You hear that Jersey...TEN!!! Everyone just make sure that "jerseyparts" knows you're in on it. He'll get your info from you when he needs it. He doesn't have my $$$ info. yet either. But atleat PM him with your name and phone number. Good job everyone!
jerseyparts 08-05-2005, 12:03 PM ALL RIGHT! Ok, this is how we are going to do this...
I am including a Link in this post, this will take you right to the Group Buy on the Exhaust. This will only be on the site for a limited time, I need each and everyone of you to go to this link, and purchase the setup, the price is already set, the only difference is if you live in New Jersey, you will be charged sales tax!
as soon as we get all 10 paid for, i will place the order, now i know you all aren't going to do this today or tonight, so anyone else wanting to get in on this deal, feel free to purchase it as well! as soon, as I get the 10 that are guaranteed in, I will call banks, and get them to ship all 10 or more the same day!

Thank you guys and I know you will enjoy the Banks!
SactoTitan 08-05-2005, 12:42 PM Alright Jersey - I just paid for mine! had to change the quantity though - it had me down for 2.
THANKS FOR DOING THIS FOR US!!
NKTITAN711 08-05-2005, 02:09 PM Alright, just bought mine! Thanks for the Kooler too! This is great Jersey! I'm very pumped and ready to roar!!! Let us know when they ship.
:dance: :rofl: :headbanger: :happy: :karate:
JetTech 08-05-2005, 02:16 PM Wow guys, I think this is the fastest group buy I've seen yet on CT. Thanks jersey for setting this up. I think everyone will love the Banks!!
adavis99 08-05-2005, 02:50 PM Wow free cooler too.
I paid for mine.
Anybody think it is worth it to have this thing installed at a muffler shop rather than DIY?
Looks kinda big/heavy to install on your back w/o a lift.
NKTITAN711 08-05-2005, 02:56 PM Naw...D.I.Y.!!!! It's just pipe. You and one other person should be able to do it with some normal hand tools. Maybe go to the autoparts store and pick up a catilyst of some sort (PB Blaster etc..) to help free up any rust on the bolts. Also, do what I'm gonna do and spend $30 at Walmart on some ramps to drive up on. When the kit comes in, my girlfriend and I are gonna put it on in the driveway. Our biggest obstacle should be the heat! She's just as pumped as I am. (she's into this stuff too...) There is no welding. I'm confident that if you have any sort of technical skill what-so-ever...you'll be fine!
And yeah Dale, by far one of the fastest buys I know I'VE seen up here. We're all very excited! I wished I lived closer to Atlanta so you could Dyno MINE for us!
SactoTitan 08-05-2005, 03:31 PM Oh yeah thanks for the cooler Jersey!!
rod_b 08-05-2005, 05:36 PM PAID! Thanks for setting up this group buy jerseyparts.
:headbanger:
jerseyparts 08-05-2005, 06:43 PM I too am shocked at the speed of this Group Buy, I know Banks makes a Great exhaust, but 10 people in less than a week... and I think there will be more than 10, by the flow of the sales, we have a few add ons so that is even better! Happy to get you guys a Great deal, and I hope you tell them where you got it!
rod_b 08-05-2005, 06:46 PM jerseyparts, are you able to get the 3.5" Banks tip. I'm pretty sure I'll be switching down to the smaller tip...especially if the wife starts commenting on drone.
chasenme 08-05-2005, 06:50 PM Hey I want one too dont leave me out sniff :tears: sniff hey jursey can i still get in on it i wont have my $$$$$$$$ untill next week email me are something r post a repley here let me know thanks Peace Out....
jerseyparts 08-05-2005, 06:51 PM I was not aware banks made a 3.5 tip, I thought it was only available in a 5.... I will check into this for you!
just paid for mine
thanks
titanaz 08-05-2005, 07:07 PM Oh this is awesome! :D I've had my eye on the banks exhaust since I got the truck and this deal is just too good to pass up. Just paid for it. Thanks for the great hookup jerseyparts!
rod_b 08-05-2005, 07:11 PM I was not aware banks made a 3.5 tip, I thought it was only available in a 5.... I will check into this for you!
I don't think you can get the tip with the monster exhaust (although if they could do the switch at the factory, that would be awesome) but I do believe it's something they make and can be bought separately. Some others on TitanTalk have switched to it to tone it down a little. Thanks for checking it out. Gale Banks Engineering is actually less than 3 miles from me. I wonder if they'd let me go over and pick it up.
jerseyparts 08-05-2005, 08:00 PM I will check on that for you rod, it would be hella faster!
SilverTitan 08-05-2005, 08:06 PM Just paid for mine. Thanks Jersey!
Can't wait. If there is small tip I'm in!
:D
I snuck in on this one and paid tonight. Thanks!
:D
NKTITAN711 08-06-2005, 02:08 AM Nice job Reid! Just a few posts into this site and already ordered a badAZZ exhaust! CONGRATS EVERYONE!
a4bry4 08-06-2005, 02:37 AM Just paid for mine!!!
:dance2: :dance2: :dance2: :dance2:
Thank you for taking care of us Brian! :udaman: :goodjob:
NKTITAN711 08-06-2005, 02:40 AM Ahh yeah! People are gonna have a new idea in their heads when they think of Titan's now. "Hmm, looks good and sounds very mean!"
:devil:
Watch out U.S., we're taking over!
a4bry4 08-06-2005, 02:49 AM I'm hoping that mine arrives in a day or so since it is shipping from So. Cal.
I can hardly wait for the UPS truck to pull up and drop off the Banks! :dance2:
NKTITAN711 08-06-2005, 04:43 AM Me either! Jersey, are you going to go ahead and ship ours out...or are you waiting until 10 are paid for? I was just looking to see how long we had to wait. Thanks!
SilverTitan 08-06-2005, 06:31 AM Just a guess, but I think they might start shipping out on Monday seeing most of us have paid by this Saturday.
I can't wait myself! I've been debating back and forth. I wanted to buy a full SS system and was really considering the Borla or the Banks only cause I like the look of duels. However with this price that Jersey got for us it was easy to decide. I'm just glad I waited!
Oldfoozeballer72 08-06-2005, 12:29 PM PAID IN FULL!!
RYDER88 08-06-2005, 02:33 PM I am in jersey I emailed you! Just tell me how to send you payment!
Awesome Deal!!
NKTITAN711 08-06-2005, 02:39 PM Go to the THIRD page of this post and Jersey has a link posted about 1/2 way down the page. Click on the link and give him your info./money. Good to have you on this great buy! I'm sure you'll be as happy as we all will! I believe if we did an exhaust poll up here now...Banks would be at the front of the pack!
Beaver 08-06-2005, 07:38 PM is it to late for me to get in on the deal? i will pay right now if its not
jerseyparts 08-06-2005, 08:53 PM WOW! we blew the inital 10 out of the water!!!
all orders willgo in Monday morning, and I would guess ship out MOnday afternoon, that is up to GBE, I talked to beaver already and he is in, so whatever sales we get by monday will be great!
No need to email and ask to get in, just go to the Link and purchase it! all orders in before the call on monday by 12:00 eastern time will be included!
RYDER88 08-06-2005, 09:53 PM I just paid for mine!
Thanks again jersey
NKTITAN711 08-06-2005, 11:31 PM GREAT! If they go out Monday...UPS ground should be 3-5 days and HOPEFULLY we'll have them to install for the weekend!!!!!!!!!!
:headbanger: :headbanger: :headbanger:
NKTITAN711 08-07-2005, 01:32 AM Yeah, what's the count up to now?
SilverTitan 08-07-2005, 04:55 AM This has to be one of the fastest group buys I've seen.
Look out honey your hubby will be busy this coming weekend LOL!
jerseyparts 08-07-2005, 07:11 AM at present count I have 13 and we still got 29 hours to go, so we will see what happens, thanks for the support guys, Now i have some bad news, I do not know if I can include the cooler bag in these orders, They have to be shipped my business, and I don't know how many are left, I just wanted to warn everyone about this, I didn't even think about it when i put up the Banks, but i will see what i can do!

Jersey,
the cooler bag was a bonus I wouldn't worry about it. What you got for us was a great deal on a great exhausst system. That's what counts in the end! Thanks again!!!
rod_b 08-07-2005, 10:50 AM jerseyparts - No worries on the bag. I don't really need it. I just added it cuz it was there for $0 :rofl:
Thanks for setting up the buy. Don't forget to mention to Banks that I wouldn't mind picking mine up directly.
NKTITAN711 08-07-2005, 02:46 PM I AGREE!! That cooler was just a mere perk of the buy. I can PROMISE you...if you get our exhausts to us ASAP...you'll never hear another word about the coolers. That's why we're up here in the first place. We really appreciate all of the leg work that you've put forth into making this happen for us. I'm looking forward to doing other group buys with you. If these go out on Monday...I will be a happy happy man!!!
:dance: :rofl: :headbanger: :happy: :thumbsup:
scarface805 08-07-2005, 02:53 PM hey is it to late to order mine...i was undecided but i guess the price is good... :nervous:
jerseyparts 08-07-2005, 02:56 PM Nope, you got till Monday 12:00 pm est to get your order in, I would not waititll the last minute though, I got a call back waiting from Jeff, at Banks and as soon as he calls, I will place the orders.
scarface805 08-07-2005, 03:01 PM you know what i leaving for vacation to cancun,mexico on thursday..my concern is that i leave in a condo and no one will be here to receive it..is there a way to have it delivered to my shop???
jerseyparts 08-07-2005, 03:03 PM yes, in the field where it asks where did you hear about yournissanparts.com? just put the exact drop ship address you would like it sent too.. You are in Cali, so it will only take 2 days or so!
a4bry4 08-07-2005, 06:56 PM No worries on the cooler! Thanks for putting this together for us!
SactoTitan 08-07-2005, 07:38 PM No worries on the cooler - thanks for deal Jersey!
4-ROLLER 08-08-2005, 05:43 AM Thanks for the deal Jersey. I also just wanted to thank everyone in the forums for all the good info. I just became a new member and this will be my first group buy as well as first post. My next post will be in the new member forums!
Nope, you got till Monday 12:00 pm est to get your order in, I would not waititll the last minute though, I got a call back waiting from Jeff, at Banks and as soon as he calls, I will place the orders.
Good timing for me - I just jumped in on this awesome deal. Not bad for my first post on Club Titan. :D
TitanFred 08-08-2005, 12:04 PM Jersey,
I pulled the trigger at 8.59 am PST this morning - just under the wire! After my billet grill, this will be my first mod. I'm going out to PRG's site and get the 2" leveling kit today also. Still waiting on the CAI as, from this forum, I'm thinking the v3 of the Volant should compliment the Banks nicely.

jerseyparts 08-08-2005, 12:11 PM WOW! that was pushing the envelope! I got the order, and I will include it in the group buy.. I am getting off here and calling banks in about 3 minutes and I will let you guys know, whatever I can!
Oldfoozeballer72 08-08-2005, 12:13 PM So how many did we end up with for this buy?
jerseyparts 08-08-2005, 01:32 PM Drum Roll Please....................
16 Beautiful Banks Monster Exhaust were purchased for this Great Discount Deal!
Jeff from Banks, said If I could have got 14 more, he would have made his month in 1 day! LOL!
Thanks for the Support Guys, this will be great ammo for future group buys.... If we can pull 16 in 1 week, what could we do in a month???
jerseyparts 08-08-2005, 01:34 PM By the Way,
This Group Buy is Officially CLOSED! Thank you for all who got in on it, and for those of you who did not, let me know, maybe we can do another one in the future, NOT too soon, but I will def. ask for another deal like this!
SactoTitan 08-08-2005, 01:46 PM 16! that's awesome! Did he say when they'll be shipped?
jerseyparts 08-08-2005, 01:49 PM No he did not, he said they all had to be manually entered into the system, and that takes time, he is calling me back to confirm the fax, and I will ask him then!
SactoTitan 08-08-2005, 01:55 PM ok great! Thanks again Jersey!
good job guys.
Thanks Jersey I am sure the members who got in on this deal will be very happy.
M4ck
NKTITAN711 08-08-2005, 02:29 PM Great work everyone! Very very strong show of force here! I'm sure that as long as we all have the exhaust by the weekend...we'll be just as happy as can be. Unfortunately, patience is the virtue that we Titan owners do not have
Beaver 08-08-2005, 03:02 PM yup, patience is the hardest part. ever since i got this truck i cant stop thinkin about what i want to put on it next. Its like an addiction. Seriously, it sounds stupid, but i cant sleep cuz i keep thinking about that video with that awesome stainless steel exhaust running underneath my truck. Im going to want to just lie under there and look at it. Im way exited to put it on myself. Anyway, thanks alot jersey.
SactoTitan 08-08-2005, 03:10 PM Me too! I've watched that clip from Jersey about 100 times! Also there have been many times where the only motivation for me to get out of bed is driving my truck. Some people just don't understand.
SilverTitan 08-08-2005, 03:14 PM Thanks to Jersey and all my Titan brothers for getting this Group Buy rolling so fast!
Can't wait!!!
Is Banks going to (hopefully) drop ship these to us?
adavis99 08-08-2005, 04:08 PM I'm pretty sure I already read in one of Jersey's post that they are going to drop ship from CA.
-adam
SactoTitan 08-08-2005, 04:14 PM ALL RIGHT! Ok......I will call banks, and get them to ship all 10 or more the same day!
Here's the meat and potatoes from jersey's post on page 3.
RYDER88 08-08-2005, 06:35 PM Oh! I can't wait, I live in utah should only be 2 days or so to me!
Awesome work jersey and new banks owners
Rossi 08-08-2005, 07:33 PM Kids in a candy store!!! LoL
Boy Jersey...you getting a promotion for this one or what! 8O
jerseyparts 08-08-2005, 08:37 PM Yea well, it took a lot of work to get Banks to give some money up on this, and I will warn you guys now, These are HUGE boxes, and I don't know if it is UPS or some cosmic force, but they take a while to be delivered! usually 5 days or more to the east coast, and 3 to the west (even though they are in CA) and ROD_b will be the first to get his, because he is picking his up at GBE ( I will give you the details as soon as Jeff calls me and says it is ready rod)
So enjoy and Have fun with them!
NKTITAN711 08-08-2005, 08:45 PM Thanks for the heads up. I knew it though...5 days..
:tears:
I hope it's here by Saturday though! It would be SOOOO nice to have it put on this weekend and start the work week the RIGHT way next week. Everyone here at CT, let's hold hands and chant together..."Give Nate his exhaust by Saturday", Good!...now repeat....
:future:
rod_b 08-08-2005, 09:06 PM jersey, you rock!!! :headbanger:
SilverTitan 08-09-2005, 05:15 AM jersey, you rock!!! :headbanger:
DITTO!
SactoTitan 08-09-2005, 01:17 PM hey Jersey when you talk to Jeff can you find out when they'll be shipped? I feel a 'cold' coming on and I'm pretty sure I'll be taking the day off when it arrives :wink: :wink:
NKTITAN711 08-09-2005, 02:14 PM .................hopefully by saturday.........
jerseyparts 08-09-2005, 04:12 PM I am a little PO'd at Banks, the reneged on the Promised Price, But I am standing by it.... He said all the orders were processed yesterday, and all will ship this week... I will get you more Info as I get it!
That sucks Jersey. I would think twice about doing anything else with them if they are like that.
Just my .02
M4ck
Oldfoozeballer72 08-09-2005, 05:27 PM Sounds to me that it is time to start selling another brand of exhaust on my website if I were you. Thats straight Bu77SH#T.
SilverTitan 08-09-2005, 05:38 PM I don't think Banks understands the power of the web! Word of mouth goes much farther now.
In fact I have a few guys at work that are waiting to see and hear my Banks to make a decision. Rest a sure I will mention the fact that Banks backed down on thier deal!
Thanks for being there for US Jersey!
NKTITAN711 08-10-2005, 01:51 AM GEEZ! That's pretty ungrateful of them. Yes, of course we're VERY appreciative the deal that we recieved...but it isn't good business to back out on your word. Obviously, we on the east coast will be s*** on and won't have ours until next week, I'm sure. Thanks for being in our corner Jersey. Keep us posted as you can.
jerseyparts 08-10-2005, 07:19 AM Yea well, I sell alot of Banks and I am sure they will not be happy when my sales drop! The excuse I got from them, is they THOUGHT i was going to have them all shipped to me, and then I would ship them out, but I explained very clearly that all units would be Dropped shipped to make sure peeps got their exhaust quick! They still gave me a discount but a fraction of what they promised for 10 systems shipped in one day!
Customer Service is the only thing that seperates a Good store from a Bad one, and thye gave me BAD CS!
NKTITAN711 08-10-2005, 10:40 AM So where's that leave us? Are they going to ship our exhaust...or is it still sitting there in the factory while they argue with you?
SactoTitan 08-10-2005, 10:43 AM That's a real bummer! Sounds like they wanted to make their month on this banks deal after all. :money:
I appreciate your efforts Jersey! I'm sure we all do!
NKTITAN711 08-10-2005, 10:47 AM Yeah! My day could be ruined now! I had big plans for the weekend! :tears:
Rossi 08-10-2005, 11:09 AM Boy...banks trying to get you lynched Jersey!!! LoL
curious...what's the difference to banks whether they are drop shipped or shipped to you...would be the same price right?
Boy...banks trying to get you lynched Jersey!!! LoL
curious...what's the difference to banks whether they are drop shipped or shipped to you...would be the same price right?
No kidding - you would think it would cost them more to ship 16 exhausts from CA to NJ as opposed to 7 from CA to CA :roll: , 2 from CA to WA, 1 from CA to NV, 1 from CA to AZ, 1 from CA to MI, 1 from CA to FL, 1 from CA to NC, and 1 from CA to UT (I know I missed 1 :P ).
jerseyparts 08-10-2005, 01:00 PM They don't want to do all the work, they would rather ship me the units, and then let me ship them out (which would drive up cost, shipping twice!!)
and NO they are still shipping, I could not do that to you guys, I told them I have no choice but to accept what they give me at this point, and don't worry, I am loading up my Ammo!
They don't know what i am capable of.... I am owned by Roger Penske, we have plenty of power!! LOL!!
NKTITAN711 08-10-2005, 01:16 PM Let 'em have it!!! :machinegunner:
We're not mad at you at ALL Jersey...just pissed at the situation in general. If it wasn't for the hold up, some of these guys may have already had the exhaust and put it on. The rest of us that live on the East coast are gonna get SUPER shafted! Who knows when it will get here now. Let us know when you get a FINAL word!
:grrr:
NKTITAN711 08-10-2005, 03:30 PM Alright everyone, I just called Brian (our hero) at yournissanparts and he explained to me what was going on. All 17 exhaust orders have been processed and paid for. Banks told Brian that every exhaust that is to go out WILL have been shipped by Friday. Banks said that they were not supplying tracking numbers nor will they tell us when which exhaust is getting shipped. Bottom line...all shipped by Friday.
Soo...the waiting game continues, but now you know. Everyone be sure to thank Brian and appreciate the HUGE hit he took for us. He stood by his price even though Banks bent him over and *you know what*.
It would be good of CT to continue to support sales with yournissanparts.com b/c this incident shows what kind of quality customer service they have to offer.
Nate
SactoTitan 08-10-2005, 03:51 PM Thanks Nate! and a BIG TIME thanks to Greg - that was a stand up move. You will continue to have my support. Although my mod wish list has been thrown out the window due to the fact that my wife and I just found out Friday we are having twins!! God help us!!!! :dance2: :tears: :dance2:
SactoTitan 08-10-2005, 03:57 PM not Greg - I meant to say Brian, a BIG TIME thanks to BRIAN!! I just haven't been firing on all cylinders since Friday. LOL!
Beaver 08-10-2005, 05:29 PM yeah this situation kinda sucks. oh well, not jersey's fault. Anyway, Before i found out about this group buy, i had called banks and talked to them, i talked to john there, and was asking him some technical questions about the exhaust. he told me he would send me the exhaust for 600 dollars to my door. I told him absolutly not, and to call me if he thought he could do better than that. In the mean time, i found this group buy on here and took advantage of it obviously. But he still had my number. Well, he called today, and asked if i had purchased one yet today, i told him that yes, through a group buy. I asked him if he could track it at all, and he said no, and he told me that i probably wouldnt have it for a while because he said "you guys" (refering to group buy people) usually get yours last. I dont know if he was just bitter because i got mine through another rep or what, but he seemed all miffed that i diddnt get mine through him. anyway, it was worth the 125 dollars to me to have to wait a little longer. i told him that, and he said " well, if you would have gotten it through me you would have it in your hands right now" haha $125 to me is more valuable than that. its worth a couple days. But anyway, thats just a little heads up for you about where we sit on thier priority list.[/img]
NKTITAN711 08-10-2005, 05:40 PM Congrats Sacto on the Baby's!!!!!!!!!!
:beating: :beating:
SilverTitan 08-10-2005, 05:48 PM Congrats on the twins Sacto!
Brian THANKS for staying true to us ClubTitan members!
I can wait a couple days more and spend the extra money I saved on better things while I wait. To start with some Beer and Pizza sounds good to me! :rofl:
RYDER88 08-10-2005, 06:38 PM Thanks Jersey
That is true customer service. I can wait a couple extra days for my exhaust sure hate to here about bad business deals.
Congrats Sacto!
My wife told me that we where having twins when we where just 18 talk about some stress! turned out to be just a single!
thanks again jersey.
Wasn't somebody going to banks to pick there exhaust up? did you get it?
rod_b 08-10-2005, 07:38 PM Jersey, thanks for putting up with all this and being a stand-up guy. I've already picked out a few more items from your site that I'll be ordering in the near future.
As for Banks, well it seems this Jeff guy has got a bug up the chute. I'm sure it's the same guy I talked to when I called last week asking about the 3.5" tip. When I asked him about it, he was agitated and asked "what vehicle are we talking about?" I said "it's for the Titan" while I was thinking "why does that matter?!" He said the Titan system comes with a 5" tip and I said "I know but I was interested in buying the smaller tip as a replacement" to which he replied "we don't make a 3.5" tip for the Titan system." I said "I know, I just need the part number if I wanted to order this through my Banks dealer." He replied with "we have one, it's $76 but it's not for the Titan exhaust system." I just said "ok fine" and hung up.
Well it turns out it's the same guy I need to deal with for the will call. I called him yesterday and he said "we just got the orders in the system and they're just making them now so call me tomorrow." So I called today and he says "just give me your number and I'll call you back." No call. He probably threw my number in the trash since he seems to have a real issues with this whole deal and anyone associated with it. Anyway I figured I'd give him until tomorrow so that's where we stand. It sucks when a company that makes great products has bad customer service. :(
i hope that their sub par cust service does not = sub par product that they are building...that would suck. :cigar:
a4bry4 08-10-2005, 09:09 PM Brian: Thanks so much for putting up with all of the crap that Banks is throwing out to you.
Congrats on the twins Sacto!
jerseyparts 08-10-2005, 09:41 PM Yes absolutely CONGRATS on the Twins, now you get Double the Fun!
I am SO glad someone else is getting the same attitude I get from Banks, so you know I am not just pulling your chain, I am about to pull their exhuast off my site, It's just a shame, cause they really do make a great product, but is it worth this much agg if they keep sticking it my arse?
SactoTitan 08-11-2005, 10:19 AM i hope that their sub par cust service does not = sub par product that they are building...that would suck. :cigar:
That would suck - kinda like when you're dining at the fine 1.5-2 star establishment and you return your plate of food for any reason at all and then they take it to the back and abuse it something awful then return to you. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen.
Thanks for the cheers for my twins fellas! OMG twins!
jerseyparts 08-11-2005, 10:32 AM That should not be a Worry, as shoddy as they are treating me and my customers, they do make one of the best if not THE best exhaust for the Titan, so worry not friends, you will receive a top quality exhaust! Just not in Top Quality Time....
NKTITAN711 08-11-2005, 02:35 PM Good new! :thumbsup:
Damn, I'm ready to get my big brown box!!!!!
NKTITAN711 08-11-2005, 03:46 PM Man...sorry. I was 1/2 asleep checking these earlier. I meant "GOOD NEWS", about not getting 1/2 azz products.
jerseyparts 08-11-2005, 04:02 PM LOL!!! :happy:
I seen that, and I was going through the posts to see if someone posted they got theirs already!!!
I just talked to Banks, they needed me to approve Rod picking his up again, so he shoudl have his by the end of the day!
NKTITAN711 08-11-2005, 05:36 PM Tell us how it is Rod!?!?! Not like we're jealous or antsy or anything!!!
:beating: :redfaced: :rollingeyez: :happy:
RYDER88 08-11-2005, 05:53 PM I think besides rod that I am the next closest in utah.
I haven't seen mine as of thurs. I have at least six different trucking and shipping companies that stop at my business everyday. I was teased alot by trucks pulling in but not unloading my big box!
I will update tommorrow after work!
thanks again jersey :)
rod_b 08-11-2005, 06:10 PM It's here, it's here!!!! :fan2:
Well, I went down to Banks. They basically own the whole street. It's a short street, cul-de-sac with most of the buildings having the Banks logo on them. Seems like a pretty large operation. The people at will call were very friendly. They asked me to pull the truck up and they loaded up the exhaust and off I went. My cheeks hurt from grinning all the way home. LOL! I took a few pics and will continue to do so during the install process. Unfortunatly, the finance manager (aka wife) had made plans for us to go out tonight with her family so I'll only be laying out the parts and taking inventory tonight. I do feel a touch of the Bank Flu coming on and may have to stay home tomorrow. I never thought I'd be so excited to see stainless steel tubing. LMAO!!!! Thanks again Brian for everything you did to make this happen.
To everyone else waiting for their exhaust...it's gonna be sooooo worth it.

I'm only another hour up the road from you, so maybe mine will be here today. :o
SilverTitan 08-12-2005, 08:33 AM My luck it will be next Friday before I see it. Norhtern Michigan always seems to be last on the list when it comes to deliveries and I'm only four hours north of Detriot!
Oh well. Waiting to see pics from you lucky ones! :thumbsup:
adavis99 08-12-2005, 01:59 PM Well since I'm on I-5 hopefully it won't take too long. Anybody who gets this and installs this on their own please post info like:
How long did it take
Any pointers etc.
I'm a fricken idiot with cars but hoping to get-er-dun on my own.
So excited... my Titan needs that sound.
-Adam
jerseyparts 08-12-2005, 02:12 PM It is very simple, If you have car ramps, it will be easier, but it is simply, unbolting the old exhaust (if rusted, this will be FUN) and bolting in the replacement pieces... and then setting everything perfect before fully tightening!
NKTITAN711 08-12-2005, 02:17 PM Well, it's Friday and they're all supposed to be shipped out by today. So the waiting game continues. I HATE this damn game too!!! I just ordered that grounding kit too and I'll be waiting for it as well! I love buying things for this truck...but with all of the debt and waiting frustration, I MAY loose my mind!!!
:redfaced: :beating: :sick:
Skulley 08-12-2005, 05:05 PM Is it too late to get in on the deal or is this an on going thing for the Club ?
NKTITAN711 08-12-2005, 05:17 PM The group buy is closed. If I were you, contact Brian at www.yournissanparts.com and ask him for a price on the Banks. You won't be able to get it as low as the Group Buy price, but I'm sure he'll give you a good price none the less.
TitanFred 08-12-2005, 05:35 PM Brian/Folks,
Got it today (delivered to my office) and just had a buddy install it...First reviews - great, throaty sound - I love it!...the "drone" that we hear about it a lot of hype...no "pack of B-29s"...the sound is there, but not too bad...just around 1700 rpms...Heck, just crank the tunes and you don't even hear it...
No more sneaking home at night, though...

RYDER88 08-12-2005, 10:51 PM I didn't get mine here in utah yet still waiting,
Who did they ship them with? ups fed ex or on a truck line? directed to people that have already got them. Cause I know banks wasn't quite willing to give jersey much help. On Shipping information
I Can't Wait!!!!!!
Thanks jersey
a4bry4 08-13-2005, 12:23 AM I took off work early today to head out to the lake. Just after getting home, I heard the roar of the UPS truck. I think I scared the driver as I ran out of the house like a kid waiting for the ice cream truck to stop. I had a huge grin carrying the Banks into the garage.
NKTITAN711 08-13-2005, 01:20 AM Hahahaha, nice! So, was it a false alarm??? Or did you get it???
Beaver 08-13-2005, 02:14 AM i got mine today too. I couldnt put it on though cuz the girlfriend had other plans. (sigh) ill see if i can squeeze time to put it on tomorrow. I opened the box though and the end of the pipe on the y assembly part was bent. it wasnt round so it wouldnt fit into the muffler. I dont want to bother with sending it back, so i just decided to take a hammer to it and round it out. good as new. Kinda sucks that it was bent though and they diddnt notice it. oh well. im excited as ever though. Thanks again jersey

HEY JERSEY - Aren't these suppose to be brand new systems??!! I got mine today, just opened it and I'm really bummed out that my muffler has 2 big dents in it and the entire system appears to be USED!!! WTF!!!
NKTITAN711 08-13-2005, 07:38 AM Whoa whoa whoa!!!!!! WTF!?!?!?!?!? I don't have mine...but that isn't gonna cut it if they're like that!!! Brian, call out the calvary!
jerseyparts 08-13-2005, 09:01 AM No that isn't, DON'T do anything with it, I will call Jeff on Monday and Get you a New one, and have them Pick that one up, That has got to be a Screw Up, I have never seen one come through like that!!!
The wholesale division is closed on saturday, so I have to wait till monday, But i will get that rectified!
Mine was waiting for me when I got home from work. The box has at least 4 holes from the exhaust punching through during shipping, one I can stick my fist through. I have not had time to inspect for damage so I'll check it over tonight. It is surprising the lack of packaging in the box, just 2 grey foam things on top. I hope it is ok.
It's installed and sounds great! I wasn't super happy with the fit of the system, but after some tweaking, I got it to fit okay.
Here's a tip: put oil on the pipes going into the muffler. It will help to get them slid all the way in. Also, you may need to use a jack under the section of pipe before the muffler in order for the section after the muffler to line up and for it's hanger to reach the hanger hardware.
I should have a full write-up on my website by the end of the weekend. The whole install took me about 3 hours, but I was fighting with the muffler section for a bit. Knowing what I know now, it should only take 2 hours or so.
Again, despite the fitment issues, the sound is awesome. I can't really comment on the power since I only have 500 miles on my Titan (which made getting the stock exhaust out much easier :P ). I did the snorkelectomy on my intake the other day and really didn't hear anything, but after the exhaust I can actually hear the intake sucking away at WOT. :D
Beaver 08-13-2005, 05:30 PM I just got mine installed too, and it sounds awesome. it only took me about an hour and a half, and that is because i had to fight a little with the muffler section too. Mine gave me a hard time because the pipe was bent a little and it wasnt perfectly round. It sounds great though im happy, its a little louder than i thought it was gonna be, but i like it. Also there is a little of a drone right around 1700 rpm, but its kinda nice, and not too obnoxious. I also thought the tip was going to look too big, but it looks great in contrast with the hugeness of the titan.
NKTITAN711 08-13-2005, 11:25 PM Good deal fellas! I'm glad that SOMEone has theirs up and running! I'm so ready to get mine on so I can quit whining up here about it! I hope Kelly and I can knock it out quickly b/c I don't want to be laying under there for 3 hours. I don't forsee it taking more than 1.5 hours...but we'll see.
6942titan 08-14-2005, 01:02 AM i well be ready soon,let me know
4-ROLLER 08-14-2005, 04:08 AM Mine is in! I hope you dont think less of me but I let some Pros down at NorCal Muffler in Manteca install it. They were done in about an hour. If I had to do it, it would have had to wait cuz the family has a full schedule for me this weekend. But I have to give props to them especially Jason. They did a great job. They even threw on a small spot weld on the base of the tip so it would be harder to lose or steal! A couple of things. They guys couldnt believe the size of the kit. His qoute" Is this thing for a diesel?" LOL He said it was a nice kit and they usually work on domestic brands but was really impressed with the Titan. After it was on the lift he kept saying this is a really nice truck. :D
When I started the truck a guy waiting for his ride said " Man that truck sounds real good!" NICE....on the drive home I really paid attention to the sound. The drone is about the same as stock at 1900 RPMs so no big but when you step on it it really roars to life. I am really happy with the sound and kit quality. This is exactly the deep throaty but tuned sound I was looking for. When I got home my Wife said "I almost thought it was too quiet until you stepped on it, Its sounds great and not annoying at all." That why I married her!!!!
jerseyparts 08-14-2005, 06:49 AM I knew you all would be happy with the exhaust, and I am glad some you had a chance to install it, SACTO I will get your hookep up monday, and then you too can BRAG about install!!! LOL!
SactoTitan 08-14-2005, 12:47 PM Hey Jersey - FUHGETABOUTIT!! As I mentioned to you, my buddy who has a trained eye, said the system is new, just a little dirty and the dents in the muffler most likely happened in transit. I just can't go through the torture anymore - I have the banks right here and I can hear my titan BEGGING for it - I'm going to slap it on today!!
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly and being very willing to help me out - EXCELLENT CS!! TOP NOTCH!!
I did up my quick and dirty webpage for the exhaust. This is on my old site software because I've been too lazy to get DReamweaver figured out and the new design up and running. So excuse the 20th century page layout. :P
http://www.egansworld.com/titan/banks.html
This is the one part of the install that irked me the most. I had to jack up the exhaust in order for the hanger behind the muffler to reach the frame. After doing that, the plate in front of the muffler looks like this. I'm a little concerned about vibration from the rod resting on the plate, but we'll see. And this isn't from the jacking per se. This is how the plate has to be in order for the hanger behind the muffler to reach the frame.
http://www.egansworld.com/titan/banksplate2.jpg
Also, I think the bends in the pipe or the lengths of pipe themselves may have been off a little bit. The tailpipe seems to hang a little low to me. Maybe it's normal though.?

NKTITAN711 08-14-2005, 02:37 PM Good job!! That's a clean looking web page with good instructions! I still don't have mine...but SOON I hope. That tip looks crazy huge next to the pipe...I LOVE IT!!!
jerseyparts 08-14-2005, 03:18 PM something is not right, I did not have to bend that adapter bracket at all when I put mine on, it justs moves the stock brakcet back further, see if something is not straight on your exhaust cause it to push up that high at that point, That is the first time I have seen something like that!

I had no choice. The pipe before the muffler was not level and was pointing on a downward angle. After putting the muffler on, it made it slightly worse. Once I put the pipe on behind the muffler, there was no way for the hanger to reach up to the frame without pushing the whole assembly up, which in turn bent the plate.
There are only a few parts to the system so I don't know what could have been wrong. Any suggestions?
I'm thinking the bend right before the Y pipe was not made correctly. :(

jerseyparts 08-14-2005, 07:51 PM I would guess the Hangar is too long before i would say the pipes are bent incorrectly... I just didn't have this problem.... it is very strange!
SactoTitan 08-14-2005, 07:53 PM Egan - I had to flip the plate so the bracket is on top. Just has to it was still facing front (has more rubber to grab the arm).
However - I noticed that the tip touches the quarterpanel - is that ok? I'm thinking because it gets so hot it'll warp it or ruin the paint - anyone else have that problem - see pics.
Beaver 08-14-2005, 08:11 PM go back and look at your instructions. Look at step 7 again. you are supposed to mount the hanger plate so that the rubber hanger is on the top of the plate. If i were you i would pull it off, bend the plate back straight, and mount the plate upside down from the way that you had it. it fits perfectly if you do that. and your probably right, it would probably make some nasty noise from vibrations if you dont, because that bar is touching the metal.
Beaver 08-14-2005, 08:14 PM Also, my tip doesn't touch the quarterpanel. you should be able to adjust where it sits a little if you loosen up the pipe clamp from the muffler and set it how you want it. it should be able to move just enough so it doesnt touch. You dont want it to touch, there will be vibration issues if you have it touching.

Thanks - I'll go check that out. I guess my reading comprehension skills are inversely proportional to the excitement generated by the modification. ;)
Doh!
All better now. :oops:

a4bry4 08-15-2005, 06:10 PM The Banks got installed yesterday afternoon with the help of my nephews Ryan and Sean (who is also a Titan owner). It only took us about two hours because they had already did the install on Sean's Titan.
I love it!!!
Thanks Brian for making this group buy possible! :dance2: :dance2: :dance2:

RYDER88 08-15-2005, 10:46 PM Got mine on tonight in 1 1/2 hours pretty good grease monkey. I love the sound I think i lost a little low end torque but gain in mid and upper end hp. Hope to cure the low end torque loss with the volant. Very happy with quality and fit. Great looking to.
thanks again
Brian!!!!!!!

NKTITAN711 08-20-2005, 04:18 PM Well, the Banks is sweet and I'm loving the wonderful tuned tone it gives off. Kelly and I have burned SO much gas just going around reving and driving the dog piss out of it! It's GREAT! I hope you all are enjoying it as much as we are. Now, I'm ready for that new Volant to supply the air!!!
SilverTitan 08-22-2005, 07:45 PM Well I finally installed the Banks Monster! I was missing one of three inch clamps and tring to find one on Sunday evening was a real chore!
This system sounds GREAT! I feel like I'm riding in my 1968 442. Drone what Drone! That's what the exhaust is going to sound like it. I love it! More Drone LOL! :devil:
I also put the Active Tuning Cables on. The biggest different I have found is that the radio is much loader! Thanks again Brian!
