It basically looks cool, but how much time do you spend looking at your engine.

Even a Banks saleman talked me out of one, all they do is sit there looking pretty.

Trickytrae:

I agree with what the other DTR Members have already
told you about the Banks Twin Ram. In dyno testing
some Dodge CTD owners have actually lost H.P. after
installing it!! I agree that they look good, but if it
doesn't work don't waste your money!

I put one on mine and it is working ok as far as I can tell, what made me buy one
was a article I read that said it would make it run smoother and cooler and make
engine last longer.
like a lot of stuff you buy there is nothing to compare to if you don't have a lot of
experience.
I might have spent to much and I am not sure if I am getting al the horse power
an torque they clame.
but full milage has improved. and power is smooth.

Well, I put one on my twin turbo truck...but of course I had to take the grinder to it and remove the Banks lettering BS, and I painted it to match the engine. Someday when I have more money I'll have it chromed.

I only bought it because of it's looks...of course it doesn't do anything for power, and I also bought it cheap.
