Specifications

The 5-inch Monster Exhaust is designed specifically for the 2011-2016 GM 6.6L Duramax LML 2500/3500 HD pickup trucks. The DPF-back exhaust system features constant-diameter 5-inch mandrel-bent 409 Stainless Steel tubing and a massive patented tip which virtually eliminates backpressure after the DPF and prevents trailer meltdown.
Why It's Better

Change Your Look

Duramax owners can choose from two huge patented 6.5 x 7.5-inch ob-round slash-cut exhaust tips: chrome-plated polished stainless steel or high-temp Cerakote matte black.

And, unlike other brands, Banks' Cerakote black or Chrome tip will not turn brown with heat.

Drop The Pressure

Banks patented negative back-pressure tip virtually eliminates back-pressure after the DPF. With a side-draft rocket nozzle-like tip, exhaust gasses are literally sucked out of the end of the exhaust.

With pressure sensors installed, this negative exhaust pressure resulted in an impressive 9% reduction all the way back to the turbine inlet.

Don't Be Deceived

With the stock exhaust nozzle measuring 2.85-inch compared to the Monster Exhausts massive 5-inch outlet, the Banks system offers a 192% greater flow area than stock.

The Monster Exhaust boasts 85% less backpressure than stock, leading to more power and increased fuel economy..

Drop That Heat

The Monster Exhaust also provides a 15% reduction in exhaust temperature two feet behind the tip during regen!

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on the Duramax L5P is cleaned through regeneration in which scorching exhaust gas temperatures can last up to 20 minutes while driving.

Unlike the stock Duramax exhaust, which directs a prolonged jet-like blast of super-heated exhaust gas directly at anything being towed, the Monster Exhaust is aimed out to the side of the truck.

This allows ambient air to diffuse the heated gas, eliminating the risk of melting a trailer, which has been reported by many Duramax owners.

Excellent product!!

"So glad I chose Banks exhaust!!!"

— Ruben G. (5/5)

Great look and noticeable difference

"Great look and noticeable difference in performance on take off. Instructions were simple to follow."

— Joseph W. (5/5)

Banks upgrades

"This system is pretty straight forward. I think I spent more time trying to get the tailpipe in the right spot than I did with the rest of the install. I have the air ram as well as the upgraded oil cooler now I have the exhaust all install with in the last 2 months. Can’t wait to go pull my trailer and see how the combination all works."

— Dee G. (5/5)

Clean and Easy

"Install took about 30 minutes in my garage with simple tools. Pro tip: fit everything together and use a jackstand on the exhaust tip as an extra pair of hands if you are alone to ensure it is the position you want prior to tightening everything. Use penetrating lube on hangers and bungs-(if you have sensors to R&R). I did not receive any instructions with my order but the kit is extremely easy to figure out."

— Michael S. (5/5)

First rate

"Fit and finish are spot on. Installation was easy. Truck runs better on long steady hills on the highway. Banks put a lot in research and development and it shows."

— Eric H. (5/5)

5” banks monster exhaust

"Installed on my deleted 4” system. Can’t believe how much difference it makes. Great sound as well"

— Steven K. (5/5)

Better acceleration

"Exactly what was ordered, very precise instructions, highest quality. Just installed so don't have any performance info other than acceleration feels stronger."

— John L. (5/5)

"I went on a trip of 1900 miles. A lot of hwy driving. Saw an improvement of my mpg. Up to 3 mpg going across the plains."

— Guy (5/5)

Ordering the parts online was

"Ordering the parts online was easy, and the delivery was on time. The chrome monster exhaust system fits perfectly on my 2016 GMC 2500HD 6.6L Duramax LML. I also like the sound of my new exhaust. Thank you Banks!"

— Lawrence R. (5/5)

Q&A

Will this system (specifically the 5") work with the firestone ride-rite airbags installed on a 2013 2500, is there clearance issues?
