I gaurantee thats a load of BS, you put any exhaust system on and your gonna lose some back pressure and gain more top end, but not no 20+ HP.

Just passing along what Banks quotes. I would agree that their claims sound to good to be true...I have been impressed with what I have seen/driven on models for the diesels, but want to hear more feedback on the current aftermarket offerings before I lay down the $.

We sell the Banks system for $510. As for 20+whp being impossible, don't doubt it. The OEM system is very small and very restrictive. This is a very detuned motor. We pulled the cams and compared them to a Q45, and they are very wimpy in comparison. Look for some very good gains to be had very soon. We are working with Jim Wolf tecnology to develope some cams for this motor.

And we have an exhaust system that dyno'd 21 whp higher on the Altima V6.
