The numbers are at the rear wheel, 23 HP gain is not shabby along with a gain of 17 for torque with most of that in the low end where we like it.

Any time you gain hp without giving up torque . . . it's good. How much does it cost for the gain, that is the question IMHO.

both headers and cat back runs about 750

those are not bad gains at all over stock.I may really look into the headers after the banks install

he jeepin you seem very knowlegable if you use the banks exhaust and lets say no one else comes out with headers other than jba would those 2 work well together? would it really matter. or anyone that has input on this situation. jba says 6 hour install does that seem right?

Me too.

you may wanna contact banks to see if they will release headers designed for their cat-back system. generally each manufacturer engineers their headers for their cat-back for the most power on a dyno. this gives the manufacturer more flexability into where they want to make power on the band. im not saying you wont gain power, they are definatly designed to flow more gases but you may or may not lose power at another point due to flow characteristics. another thing is if a exhuast claims a certain gain say 15 hp and a set of headers says itll add 10hp, it doesnt necessarily mean youll gain 25hp, you may pick up only 15.

They will work, there is still the cats in between. 6 hour install does sound about 3-4 hours too much (but then I've never attempted)

I spoke with Banks today, and they (as long as they have good demand for their cat back system) will be making headers designed to work with their cat back system.
oh, and by the way, they are emailing me the dyno results for their cat back system!!!

Yeah!! Let us know when you get the dyno #'s. Let us know when the headers are ready!!!
Thanks Jamie!

sweet, um sure everyones waiting on that dyno lol

[ATitan4Me]

I will let you guys know how the butt dyno rates the exhaust as soon as I get it. I cant wait for my Banks system. The real numbers would be nice though. If I remember right Eddie posted the numbers he got from Banks in a different post.

Those are some good results. You have to remember, on a vehicle like this, peak hp is not going to be that impressive. HP is purely a mathematical calculation from torque: HP = Torque x RPM ÷ 5252

For vehicles that have a lot of low-end torque and aren't designed to be high-revving, you're not going to see a huge hp increase. If the torque curve is flat you'll see some nice numbers but if it drops off like the Titan's you're not going to be impressed.

At the end of the day, what really matters, especially with a truck, is that the area under the torque curve is greater. That means a faster, more powerful truck.

of course it would be logical to utilize the banks headers for the titan if they are produced as I am sure they would be designed to work together.generally speaking though because of the cat placement on our trucks most of the header applications that will come out will be of the same design because of emission laws.I would be inclined to get the JBA headers is Banks does not release any.

looks like a nice gain for a complete exhaust setup. more grunt in real driving conditions and not peaky.
