Well I had a full up Banks Kit on my 2000 model F-250, 7.3L to include the Monster exhaust. It all worked very good together. I did notice a lot of gain in torque ft lbs and hp. I checked it on the gyro and it was awsome. But like most guys who tinker with their toys, decided I wanted a King Ranch in 05 so I bought a new one. Love the bigger cab and the 4 doors over the old truck with the super cab. I do miss the bigger exhaust; not necessarily all of the other suff that I got from the Banks Kit however. The new truck has plenty of power and the tranny works great. I have already added a cold air intake but will probably add a larger exhaust soon, maybe duals if they are not too loud. I too am an old speed freak from the 60s and loved the boulevard rumble those old Walker Continentals made with a big old V-8. I just think a bigger exhaust with the bigger intake would help for what I need at this time. I did find the added HP with the full Banks kit did NOT increase MPG enough to make the swap feasible. Thanks for the good discussion.
