wait. what?
I had this system on my 2010 King Ranch. I bought it from another forum member for a great price and I really liked the look of the large tip with my bigger tires. the tone was nice but it was very subtle and I personally never noticed any drone.

I took my Banks Monster Power Exhaust system out on my test drive, it was a dream come true, very nice tone, not annoying at all, even cruising at 70mph with the rear slider fully open.
Put your foot into it and it howls, moves out quicker over the quiet stock setup.
100% pleased.

How do you keep it so clean underneath!! System looks good on there. Would you happen to have a sound clip?

Just ordered the Banks for my 14.
I have used Banks Catbacks in the day when I had my Powerstrokes and was really impressed with the system.
Been looking for a Catback for this new 14, happy I didn't jump the gun and get something else as I forgot about "Banks", decently priced at $441 shipped, I got mine for $383 shipped.

I was interested in this exhaust until an exhaust shop suggested just to get a muffler due to the quality and diameter of the stock piping. So....after listening to countless Youtube videos and reading these forums, I settled on a Magnaflow 18" muffler with a 4" tip welded into the stock piping. Ordered the parts myself from Advance Auto using a coupon code and paid less than $200 installed.

I had a banks cat back on my 2010 f150 and it sounded very nice, had a slight drone at highway speeds, but I made a custom 1/4 wave resonator tube to tune the sound better. I ended up taking it off after a couple thousand miles. I guess Im just getting old and prefer the stock exhaust haha. It's just sitting in the garage now. I would be willing to make a deal on it with you if your interested. pm me.

The BANKS is designed to leave the Resonator on, so I did.
Like others have stated, you hear it at startup and when you are on the gas but the rest of the time it is quiet but I still hear a faint sound of the Monster muffler at cruising speeds.
I tried a few Video sound clips but they just didn't express the sound that you hear standing next to the truck or in it. The weather here today never got out of the mid-20F's, so the helmetcam suction cup kept popping off the rear window every time I nailed the gas pedal, guess the glass was too cold, lol.
Try again when we get out 50-60 temps back and hopefully soon.
tyguy88, I'm getting older too but I missed the roar of a louder exhaust and this one really isn't that loud inside the truck while cruising, guess I'll know in a couple of thousand Miles.
