best bang for your bucks is a kit.. they usually run under 300 bucks for a full 4" tb traight pipe exhaust kit....

the stacks look and sound better but wont give you any more hp or egt drops than running a straight piped 4" kit

so the main diff is what you actually want and can afford....

if your interested were running a store wide sale... let me know if you want a price the budget kit and ill PM you...

or the stack kits

IMO stacks look better. Typical exhaust are norma. And its always cool to roal coal from a set of duals. That way you can be in the middle lane and take out 2 lanes with one pass. haha

I'm not a big fan of banks exhaust. Pretty much all the aftermarket exhaust systems are the same, the banks just cost more. Have Raul shoot you a price on an MBRP system. Aluminized steel can be had around $300, but if you live anywhere where they salt the roads or by the ocean I'd go with at least 409 Stainless. MBRP has stack kits too if that's the way you want to go. I want one on mine, but the wife would have a sh!t fit.

Best bang for the buck is going to be hands down a typical 4" system. Stack will cost more and don't give any gains. Not to mention they look out of place on most trucks, take up useable bed space, require cutting a hole in your bed floor and cost more. IMHO if you actually use your truck at all stacks are a waste. The only time they are acceptable is on a designated competition truck or maybe a show truck that's got the right body mods to make them look right. On an otherwise normal truck they just plain look out of place.

I have the MBRP 6" stacks on my truck and they are awesome . I got sick of my old single side exit 4" system. The stacks definitely sounds better, and imo looks better also. I think they look the best on regular cab trucks...

In my opinion stacks are becoming over done. I mean it seems like everyone is getting stacks.

I like being ignored by the boys in blue, straightpiped stock exhaust.

Good point! Stacks do definately grab attention, sometimes not the kind you want.

If you really want the best bang for your buck, just straight pipe your stock exhaust for about $35.
