    Those of you that have the banks monster exhaust I have some questions. I am prob going to order one but before I do I gotta ask about drone. I have a 4 door short bed and am wondering if there is any drone with this exhaust. Back roads, highway or anything? I can deal with some on take off but def not if there is a lot of drone at cruise speed and highway speeds.

    Any mpg gain or loss? HP gains?

    My dcsb has a banks monster exhaust on it. It was on there when I bought it. Louder than some in the cab but not as bad as others. There is a bit of a drone at highway speed. I got accustomed to it and never even notice it anymore. Sounds pretty cool on the outside. Can't really comment on hp or mpg.

    All cat-backs don't really have an effect on mpg or hp other then the person stomping on it more often. If you have heard the TRD exhaust then that's what the banks sounds like but a little louder. I find road noise drowns out the exhaust (I'm running stock tires). Over all the exhaust doesn't get to loud up to around 3k rpm. My parents don't complain about the noise and they hate noisy vehicles so that's all I can offer.

    I've had the exhaust on for 6000km now(2 years haha) and I've never got bored of the sound. My only complaint is the exhaust hangers are stainless but a bit of paint fix that for me.
