Great upgrade!
"I really like my 2022 Silverado HD3500 DuraMax. The stock exhaust, blew straight into the front of our 5th wheel. The Banks Monster exhaust, fixed that issue and it did not make my truck loud 👍"

Specifications
Banks Power introduces the new 5-inch Monster Exhaust designed specifically for the 2020-2022 GM 6.6L Duramax L5P 2500/3500 HD pickup trucks. The DPF-back exhaust system features constant-diameter 5-inch mandrel-bent 409 Stainless Steel tubing and a massive 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 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' polished chrome tip will not turn brown with heat.
Drop The Pressure
Banks negative back-pressure tip virtually eliminates back-pressure after the DPF.
Utilizing 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 turbo inlet.
This reduction in drive pressure and parasitic losses allows your turbo to spool quicker and improves engine efficiency.
Don't Be Deceived
With the stock exhaust nozzle measuring 2.85-inch compared to the Monster Exhaust's massive 5-inch outlet, the Banks system offers a 192% greater flow area than stock.
The Monster Exhaust boasts 89% less backpressure than stock at the DPF and 9% lower at the turbine inlet, 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.

Reviews
2020 L5P
"Easy install perfectly written instructions."
Great product
"Fit perfectly great product from Banks again as usual. I highly recommend if you want a good setup if you tow and want to keep smog emissions. No check engine light and only took an hour and some change to install. My trucks a little lifted so was easy to take out my old exhaust in one piece."
2021 GMC 3500 AT4HD Monster Exhaust
"Great quality and very easy to install. I'd recommend DIY install using an additional helper to make the whole job go easier especially when aligning the new system. Overall a perfect fit with zero issues. If you have ever hitched an RV trailer while the truck is running you can appreciate this side exhaust design."
Clamps need work
"I love the exhaust and how it looks. Unfortunately the clamps they provided don’t work well at all. I called them and all he said is they can send new clamps. Told him they are as tight as possible and the exhaust is still loose. Ended up having to get it welded to secure it. The exhaust looks good but the customer service when you have an issue was lacking. Spent another $120 to have it welded so it stopped spinning."

"Great product, easy installation"
The Banks difference
"Great looking exhaust excellent fit and simple to do only took 45 minutes this is the first or other upgrades I felt the throttle response instantly"
Banks Monster Exhaust Catback DPF Kit
"I have bought this kit and I have just installed it yesterday and I can tell you after installing the Banks CAI, Turbo Inlet and the Pedal Monster my performance have just woke up. I love the Banks product and I am looking forward to getting more of them, as my money come in of course. I tow a fifth wheel and I tow it cross country two time back and forth and the stock muffler have beat up the front of it so bad that my rubber piece molding had came off from the heat of the oem muffler, so this is a plus. I can say, good work Mr. Banks I really love what you sale and am planning on buying more of it."

Q&A
- Has anyone tried to put the "SRW ONLY" on a DRW truck? I see reviews that include "dually" but am confused as to why it won't fit.
- Unfortunately, it won't bolt on without modification, and the tip is blocked by the fenders removing the scavenging affect from the wind. It can work, but it doesn't meet our standard.
- Will this be available for dual rear wheel trucks again soon?
- We don't have plans on making a DRW kit at this time.
- I would like to switch to the black exhaust tip. Can I purchase the tip only ?
- Individual/replacement part orders like this can be made over the phone. Sometimes parts like this are not listed on the website If you call the office at 626-969-9600 option 3, customer service will set up the order.
- So it states that it does not for dually’s but I saw a picture of someone down below with the exhaust on the truck? So it fits? Or is there another model for the dually?
- Here is the list of body styles that this exhaust will fit. Fits: ✓:Double Cab Short Bed ✓:Double Cab Long Bed ✓:Crew Cab Short Bed ✓:Crew Cab Long Bed Does Not Fit: ✗:Single Cab Long Bed ✗:Dually DRW Vehicles ✗:2024 Model Year
- I have 2022 2500HD and worried about warranty. I do pull a 5th wheel rv and also concerned about the heat. Is there any technical documentation on if I install this and later have issues with the dpf or other exhaust components will I void any OEM warranty
- Our testing has shown that our outlet temperatures are equal to stock. This is post DPF so there should be no issues with warranty, however it would be best to check with his dealer.
