Just Installed New Banks 3" IC Pipe...WOW.

191 bucks huh...damn they are proud of their stuff.....do they make one for the lmm?

I had Rubbing on those 2 Big ECU Connectors on top of the Motor with the OEM Pipe.

With the Banks Pipe, there is PLENTY of Room, and no more Rubbing on the Connectors, even though it's Bigger.

$191/shipped is still Cheaper than the $2xx for the AFE Pipe, so yea.....

I think this'll also work on the LMM. Call up Jeff @ Banks and Ask, but I'm pretty sure it'll Work on an LMM.

What about the other

Not much to See, but here ya go:

What about the outlet pipe of the intercooler? Its not needed too ?

The '04.5+ Trucks use a Pipe with Slip & Snap Joints on it. There aren't any Clamps, and in order to get a Bigger Pipe, you'd have to get a New IC and Mod the Air Inlet on the EGR.

But on the Older Trucks, Yes, you can get both the Hot & Cold Side Pipes.

Thanks

I appreciate the info.:thumbsup:

That's only an LB7 problem though I believe. James' is an LBZ.

DOH!!

Yes they fit both the LBZ and LMM.


James, I ordered one today. My EGT's seemed to have jumped up a bit after installing the lift pump. I figured I would try this first, cheaper than a bigger turbo And if I decide to go the turbo route I will already have the tube!

HemisAreSlow...I'll bet he love to hear from you

Thanks.

I'll put it on the list.

I'm working on some Audio now though.

Maybe I'll have mine in by the 'Boro pull.

Anybody know if having the bigger hot side pipe will do much? or is it primarily the cold side that helps?

I installed the afe IC pipe last night. Almot 100deg drop in egt @ wot. About 50 deg drop cruising. Spool up is more than noticeably faster and you can really feel the torque come on earlier. Truck doesn't want to downshift when I lug it down near as much, the bottom end got a good boost of torque. Power is boosted all through the rpm range. 165 bucks shipped. Worth the money!

 

[Ozzie]

Could somebody provide a link (or links) for this product?

More power, lower egt's...if I can do it myself I may just have to do this.

Gee thanks guys...and I thought I was happy...

It's not on Banks' Website still.

But if you Call them, they'll know what you want, and get you Set Up.

It's VERY easy to do.

This Thread is about the Banks Pipe.

It is different than the AFE one.
