I finally got my new Banks catback. I ordered it from Kenn at Entec: 866-640-0994. I ordered the 3rd gen I-pipe & over axel pipe and 4th gen rear section with a crossflow muffler and tail pipes exiting on the driver & passenger sides. I haven't installed it yet, but the system looks great and I really like the polished tail pipes that are polished all the way from the muffler and not just the tips. Total price shipped from Banks in CA to me in VA: $303.

Kenn provided me with the following flow numbers from Banks for the system: CFM 765, 16 horsepower. I should have asked if that was for the crossflow or the straight through muffler that exited on the same side.

It would be my luck that I ordered the system on 4/30 and just got it 6/8. Entec is only the distributer and the 3rd gen system isn't something that Banks stocks, so I had to wait for another production run. With the recent interest in the system, hopefully there should be a few made now that no one else will have to wait that long. Overall Kenn was a very good person to deal with and answered all my email requests/questions.

I'll post another update after the system & other exhaust mods are installed.

 

Is there a wev site or a phone number. How much did just the I pipe cost. I need to replace mine and do not want to go with the dynomax one.

 

Here is Entec's url or call Kenn and talk to him, I listed the phone number in my original post.

Yea I see that now. Thanks for the email!

 

Banks cat back was the system to get in the late 80's. It used to cost alot more money back then. I ordered my system direct from Banks about 8 month ago and had it in days. I have nothing but good things to say about it. Heres a link to there site. www.bankspower.com

 

ordered my Banks system from Ken as well. he said about 3 weeks but it will be there well within that. Great price for the syastem and fit awsome. I posted some pics a while back just do a search

 

Here are the part numbers for my Banks catback system, for my 91 Z28 dual cat car:

Started as a Banks Stinger System: # 49116

I-pipe 3" #52720
Over the axel pipe 3" #52721
4th gen muffler with tail pipes on opposite ends: # 52412

 

Has anyone had a chance to compare a banks to a flowmaster 80 series on same car (or perhaps similiar car?)

I know sound is subjective. I just need/want to know which is quieter/louder, and where (idle, WOT, etc.)

reason for asking: i have a flowmaster 80 series, and want something quieter- especially at WOT and under general acceleration.

thanks!!
