Default Exhaust help?

Does anyone have the Bank's Monster Exhaust? How does it sound and does it make
a noticeable difference?

Have it on my 11'. No noticeable power gain. Sounds pretty good to me. A little throatier. I would suggest welding it in or having a muffler shop weld it in instead of the supplied clamps.

Yeah I have the Banks CAI as well. Really didn't notice much gain at all, but was installed at the same time as my lift and 35s. So hard to tell. Best increase in power came from regear went from 4.10s to 5.38s.

A couple of people say the banks is a little louder than average. I just didn't want it to be like a mustang I had with flow masters. Just a nice tone.

So its installed, I'll try to get some videos up soon. It sounded a lil ricey at first but now it seems to have settled and sounds good. Its a little louder than stock at idle. Under acceleration you can just barely hear it but when you stomp on the gas it gets REAL mean....its a nice throaty growl but not overbearing. Its nowhere near as loud as the one on my old truck or the gibson i had on my old tj but I think it sounds good. Install was easy as well. Directions were straight forward and on point. The only problems I had were removing the stock exhaust and deciding whether to install the tail pipe tip or not as I'm not a fan of turn down tips...

I like the drop idea. I would level the trailer measure the height from the tongue to the ground and then purchase a drop that would be enough to span the distance between your hitch receiver and the distance you measured from the ground.
