I recently added the Banks Power Pack to my 8.1 Chevy Workhorse and love it. The mileage has increased about 1.7 mpg, but more importantly the performance is incredible. On my recent trip back from Oregon I averaged 10.7 miles per gallon.
I just went to Pismo Beach and climbed the 7% grade there and went up that hill at 55 mph all the way with no difficulties. The passing of other vehicles without having to downshift is remarkable and painless, not to mention getting on the freeways and getting up to speed quickly.
I am so happy with this set up, I wish I had installed it 3 years ago. The exhaust has a very nice healthy tone to it without being obnoxious or loud.
I was amazed while at Pismo Beach that there were at least 10 other motor homes that had the Banks Power and the few I spoke with all were extremely pleased. Most stated they did not have it installed to obtain better gas mileage, but for the overall performance.
I highly recommend this to everyone. Oh, my Son-in-law has this on his Ford 3/4 ton pickup for towing his 5th wheel and is also very pleased with the additional power and performance.
Good Luck to you
