Ed,

I got a discount from the SEMA show on the Banks stainless 4" Monster exhaust. It ran $535. I have a few sources and the cost is about $585-605 depending on length. List price is approx. $695 plus any necessary extensions

As for comparison... Yes, I am starting a business here in Dallas and was researching the different manufacturers. The two I felt had the quality I was looking for were BullyDog and Banks.

I like Banks for the fit & finish quality and research they have to backup their products. I also like BullyDog because they are a bit more cutting edge on the development while still possessing a good fit and finish in their line.

The Banks Excursion kit is not identical to the F250/350. The part no. for the Excursion (7.3 ltr.) is # 48653 (if I remember correctly). Banks has recently switch to a larger 4" coninuous diameter for the Excursion so you should see them hitting the stores in your area, soon.

VERY IMPORTANT... The 4" exhaust is not just a performance enhancer, it is madatory for any performance upgrade that is above 75hp. You cannot cool the turbo fast enough with the stock exhaust system.


Good luck
