I heard and saw the system on a 85 IROC...now...where to get it?? web site BLOWS A$$...no help there... can anyone help me??

 

actually there website is very nice,but you are right in the fact it has no info on the Fbody stuff...I have the kit and it is awesome!..You can only get the system from one of Banks' dealers and not from banks direct.I would try contacting speed demon motorsports @ 281 866 7000 ...They carry the Banks f body stuff and their prices are good.Another place that does alot of Banks stuff is ENTEC performane @ 801 265 0903 I think?..One of those places will be able to get you hooked up!...Let us know how you like it if you decide to get it

 

Subzero- how would the banks exhaust sound on my stock LG4 with no cats? I have heard a flowmaster 80 series on an LG4 and did not like it. I guess what I am looking for is something moderately quiet and I already know banks flow is godly. So how do you think it would sound? By the way, do you have any soundclips?

 

i've been meaning to get a sound clip,but haven't had the time..I will get one up soon!..Now as far as the no cat thing I really cannot say for certain?..The banks kit emits such an authoritive yet civil sound to it even without the cats on it I really don't think it would be too bad..I personally don't like the flowmaster sound oon much of anything and the Banks kit has a COMPLETELY different sound to it and does not have that annoying drone inside either...That is about all I can tell you right now,but I will work on getting a clip up soon

 

Thanks for the reply, and is that one company in houston??

 

Go to tpis.com.

 

I am not sure if TPIS still has the Banks stuff or not..

Yes, speed demon motorsports is in houston tx

 

 

I've been trying to get a banks system with no luck.
I contacted Husker High Performance and they do not carry 86-92 Banks Exhaust.
Thanks for the new contacts Subzero...I will call tomorrow.

 

crazynights~..I also saw that exhaustproslinc.com carries the banks system for the 4th gen f-body..I am sure they can order the one for your particular application as well...Strange,they are part of the husker high performance group....oh well,try ENTEC or speed demon...I am sure they would be eager to take some Green $$$ off your hands!

 

I ordered my system direct from banksengineering about 4 months ago. Just call the number on the web site. You have to talk to a sales rep to order the system. If you have a single cat system you can tell them that you need the system # in my sig. This is the style with both out on the drivers side.

The system is great. I will try to record the exhaust today.

 

Well you must really be busy because when I was looking for my exhaust you said the same thing. JK!

Here is the sound file for the banks exhaust system. It is very easy to have a conversation in the car while driving. (relatively quiet, nice purr) When you get on it is not overly loud in the car, however, you can hear it a good 1/2 mile away!.

The sound file was recorded with my camcorder strung out the back on the bumper above the exhaust. It has a very directional mike so this is the best I could do.

You will hear some changes in the sound becaue I edited it down to just get the various sound while driving, it still ended up being almost a 2meg mp3 .

Subzero- are you in houston?? and do you know where speed demon is??

 

Well I did it, I ordered the Banks Exhaust. I ordered the 86-91 3" slipin cat exhaust, pn 49111.
I ordered the exhaust from Entec and Eric is a great guy. When I called he told me that Banks was putting out a new exhaust for the third-gen crowd...he then said can I call them and call you back...sure I said...so he called me back and Banks did change the exhaust, the outlets are now 2 1/2 versus 2 1/4, this is what Eric told me. But he then didn't push the sale at all and I said I'll order it. It's around $300 but the shipping is what kills...$50!! But I figured with everything Eric did for me I'll order it...anyway should be here in 6-7 working days. If anyone is interested in Banks I highly recommend Entec #801-265-0903!!!!

 

soulless~ no I am actually in Dallas,but I have bought several things from Speed demon out of houston and they have always treated me right,and I know they sell the Banks stuff...Novass..I know I am a lazy a**,but atleast you like the system and I am sure crazy will too!...good choice man!

I have not measured the outlet pipes,but they look like 2.25 or 2.5"...Ah,no matter for 1/4",they system sounds and looks killer!

 

i used to have the Banks Powerpak on my LG4, *** i miss it!! I run the SLP system that is similar but its not as cool and doesn't sound as good. You will love it!

 

see..told you so!..the banks is the best kept secret out there

 

Thanks for the help in finding a place i can get this from. Assoon as i get some free time im gonna check them out.

 

the tail pipes rn't welded on r they? also r they like the stock setup with one pipe on each side? i'll most likely get new tail pipes made, maybe 3 in stainless.

 

they have 2 pipes on one side (drivers)..or you can order the system with the 4th gen muffler setup that has one pipe on each side and just modify the hanger to fit the car (which I did)..

 

2 on the left, chrome is the sweetest looking 3rd gen system in my opinion

 

I like the 2 on the drivers side. so thats what i will be getting when the time comes. can anyone give me a estimate on what this exhuast runs price wise.??

 

i think one of the guys here just got the system for $350 from Entec...if I remember correctly that is about what mine was as well

 

The one i had i got about ten years ago. it included a Y pipe and cost 400 bucks. I tried to attach an MPEG of my SLP system, its similar made of stainless and also 400 bucks

 

When I got mine from BANKS Directly 4 months ago I paid $298 and $40 for shipping. The part# is in my sig above. 2 out on same side.

 

What size is the pipe that comes back from the cat and goes over the axle on the Banks system?

 

3 inch

 

whats the website for banks?

 

www.bankspower.com ,but you will NOT see any fbody stuff listed on it...

 

hey sub, u got the 4th gen rear section right? well r u're tips sorta like oval like the grand prix? if so can they come off and be replaced with something else?

 

chio~..yes they are oval in shape,very similar to the GP...They are fully polished on both sides exiting the muffler,but I suppose where the welds are on each side about 8 inches or up from each tip someone could cut them off there and then re-weld any type of tips they would like...why?

 

well sub i was gona just get all new tail pipes made with 3 in stanless, i'm not too fond of the oval and i'm not sure what size pipe it was coming out of the muffler

 

i measured mine for you and they are 2.5" coming out of the muffler on both sides and a 3' going into the muffler/....

 

I recvd the Banks today. It's a nice set up. Again the p/n is 49111 for 86-92.
My questions is it does not come with the bracket that slides over the "I" pipe that bolts to the convertor. Where can I get this piece? It is a 4 bolt flange type.
Did anyone else have this problem?

 

i did not have that issue with mine...hmmm?...call banks and see if it was supposed to be with the kit,or maybe it is an option or something since that system can be used on several different applications..let us know how you like it once it is installed

 

Anyone have pics from the rear?

 

Well I called banks and after telling them they do have a p/n #49111...I was told that they stopped making that flange 5 years ago. The guy I talked to went to the shop to see if they had anymore and was told they don't. So, I'll hit a local muffler shop and pick up a flange..no bigee...but for anyone interested in the kit. It does not come with the flange.

 

bummer Crazy~...well bright side is I am sure you will love the performance and sound once that bad boy is on there!...Let us know how you like it

 

Man that cat-back looks sweet BUT, do they make one for the dual cat cars??? Or I guess you could do a little fab work and make it fit......Which place has it the cheapest????

 

Kyle,they do make one for the dual cat cars!....I believe it is the same price and if you are looking it is the one to get IMO!...Call Entec @ 801 2650903 as they do alot of banks stuff and I have had good luck working with them..i think that is where crazynights got his as well...

 

Subzero is right, give Eric or Ken at Entec a call. They will answer any Banks questions you have and can get the Banks system. It's a very sweet looking system. I really dig the twin pipes on the drivers side, gives the car a sleeper look and according to the Camaro Performance Handbook this is a better way to expell the exhaust than with the crossover muffler type...I don't know how true that is but this system, IMO, is the perfect system for my tastes.

 

glad you like it crazy~..I knew you would!...for the $$ it is a great deal!..enjoy!

 

we've got his system on our motor home and it sounds so freaking awsome, fits really good.
