Banks Boost Tubes - Honest Initial Impressions

I have the boat tubes. I didn't notice any changes at all. I had to remove the CAI because of tripping some sensors .

Those welds... you should send them a pic

My wife thinks I only have 3 guns

But are you tuned? Inder stock tuning with tq management i doubt you would feel any gains
 
Alright here are first impressions just on the 20 minute drive home from my parent's house...

The tubes provide all drivability improvements and zero performance gains as suspected. I'm running around on +150hp because I like to party so that's probably why I feel a difference.

Completely smoothed out the application of boost. No more spikes like it used to and it does build quicker too. Cruising it actually dropped pressure until it's needed so there's definitely room for a bump in economy because of that. Holds boost better and is much more consistent. We'll see if my findings still hold true throughout the week.

Driver's side was a walk in the park to install. Passenger side... it's tighter than a tick's ass trying to make everything fit but it does work.

The fuel milage is better on the higher tune aswell i run mine on level 3 at 90hp still goes like a rapped ape vs the stock tune i could run the lvl 4 150hp tune for better fuel milage but without any other supporting mods i do not want to tear up the trans too early lol

It is. I noticed a bump when I went from a +70 to the +150. As long as you keep your foot out of it lol
 
All the initial impressions definitely hold true. I'm happy I have them for the improvements in drivability and am noticing a slight bump in fuel economy.
