Why the duals guys? Just for looks? Duals to me means cleaning soot off of both sides of the truck.
If you want to replace the elbow off the turbo, the Banks Monster exhaust is the only one I know of, that does that. Replacing or smoothing the inside of the elbow does make a noticeable difference. We have done it here in our shop and you can feel the difference just by smoothing the inside of the elbow on the turbo. The Banks down pipe eliminates the elbow and attaches directly to the turbo with 4" pipe.Originally posted by DPKetchum
I noticed hardy NO difference in turbo noise with my exhaust. None of those systems include the elbow off the turbo either.
The elbow on the Ford and Dodge are different animals. Banks offers a cast elbow for the Ford and pre-3rd generation Dodge called a Power elbow. For the new Dodge the down pipe of the Monster exhaust replaces the stock cast elbow on the turbo, thus eliminating the flow issues of the stock elbow.Originally posted by DPKetchum
Banks states that about 5% of the back pressure in the factory exhaust is in the elbow alone. They sell the elbow only on Ford maybe Dodge. I think its like $250??Could be wrong on that.

Interesting Dave, I sure wish I would've gotten that one to fit last monthI have a turbo from Piers ready to put on as soon as this white junk dissipates and I can get back into my garage! I want to remove my elbow and massage it and reinstall it when I put the turbo in. . . or come talk to you about a Banks downpipe.
