Advice/experience w/Banks Power Elbow?

[RSG]

I've seen many recommendations in this forum for the MTRB exhaust and it looks real good to me, with choices of steel from high-end stainless to aluminized steel. I see the Banks Monter Exhaust with "Power Elbow" ($800 on my truck) which I would like any advice & or experiences you have to share. Does the Elbow make a difference? Is the Banks stainless as good as the MBRP?

I'm waiting for my stock exhaust to rust some more, but when I switch I'd like to upgrade to 4"...

Thanks in advance for any advice or experiences. This a great site to read!

i put a 4" MBRP alumanized steel exhaust on my truck. went on nicely. i like it, i wish it was louder but my friends say it sounds nice when i drive by. i think i just cant hear much inside cause of the engine noise.

the MBRP is a easy exhaust to install the kit comes with and extentio for long beds, i have a short so i didnt use it, you can mount your muffler backwards for more volume or if you have a short bed you can delete your muffler and use the extention piece and run it that way. i love my exhaust i wish it was a little louder but there is hardly any drone when cruising

From the Banks perspective; exhaust was an easy installation (turbo back in about an hour), good sound under load & acceleration (slightly quieter than MBRP)--had my buddies 7.3 with MBRP 4" turbo back sittin' right beside mine to compare. I've heard that MBRP makes the banks exhaust--but do not quote me on that. I am happy with the value/quality of product that Banks offers.
