Banks cold air intake

Well, that depends on what you mean by "better." If you mean low cost reliable, durable, low maintenance, emission compliant exhaust system, clearly it WOULDN'T be the Banks system. Ford/Chevrolet doesn't think so either otherwise the vehicle would come that way from the factory.

Clearly, you prefer to get your engineering degree from the school of hard knocks with a minor in marketing and advertising.

Well you surly put your foot in the mouth on this one, as to low maintenance the cast iron exhaust has lots of troubles, they crack, the bolts break, leaks, and the Banks headers have last many years, some have over 25 years on them with no issues, and Banks is emission compliant, even in California where the standards are higher..

The only thing you got right was the low cost, yes cast iron exhaust is lower cost and that's why they install them over quality headers..


Have you popped the hood on the performance cars coming from the big 3 lately, they have headers and better flow thru exhaust and better air intake systems on them, Not the cast iron junk.

Very similar to what Banks has been doing for many years now..

Maybe you need a engineering class..
