2005 Nissan Frontier - Banks Exhaust

[koolaidbergaide]

sweet rims, what kind are they?

[silentsamurai]

@koolaidbergaide - They are the nismo 6 spoke rims that came with the truck. Just powdercoated black.

[JRTFrontier]

Sounds good man. Nice look. Check out my 2011 pro-4x with true dual glasspacks. Leave me a comment and tell me what you think

[MrYBI3]

Hey, nice vid! Did you ever experience any problems with it rattling like the many of us over on clubfrontier? I've had it on for 3 months and the muffler seems to be rattling like crazy and it sounds like a tin can with a peice of metal in it.

[silentsamurai]

@MrYBI3 nope. No rattling. Very secure. Never heard this sound you speak of. Sorry.

[capsman04]

i am now ashamed of being a frontier owner. that was not a very good vid. sorry btw my 2001 sounds 100 times better than that

[silentsamurai]

@capsman04 good for you..

[silentsamurai]

4 people are mad because they bought tacomas. :)

[rbrisb24]

@silentsamurai Frontier is a great truck but tacoma is still a better truck all around.

[SPNFENDER]

Sounds amazing not too loud.I know the banks nearly eliminates all the back pressure did you notice any low end power loss?I need a cat back for my fronty was thinking about flowmaster but there stuff is aluminum,something about a rusty muffler on a new truck doesnt sit well with me.

[silentsamurai]

@SPNFENDER - Thanks for hte response, It's a truck, so I dont really worry about stuff like that. Where you would on a car when racing,etc. Not trying to be rude, just wasn't something i was looking for in an exhaust as far as losing excel speed.

[Africanwildchild]

how did it run you for the lift?

[silentsamurai]

@Africanwildchild - Bought the truck used with 26k miles. Previous owner installed lift

.

[N9T10N9DF4]

smooth sounding engine! I LIKE IT!

[cars2022]

I don't know if the camera does the sound of the exhaust enough justice, so would you say that it is pretty loud? and How big is the lift on this?

[silentsamurai]

@cars2022 has a mean growl once accelerated but a steady low 'womb' of a sound on the street. well worth the money. The lift was a 3" spacer above the springs. with 285/75/r16 tires

[cars2022]

@silentsamurai was the lift done at a local shop or did you order the kit online and then have installed?

[silentsamurai]

@cars2022. I actually bought the truck with the spacers. Bought volant intake and banks

[cars2022]

@silentsamurai Alright thanks a lot, pretty positive that i will be purchasing this exhaust in the near future!

Thanks

-Chris

[chriseggsify]

what size tires are those?



[silentsamurai]

@chriseggsify  285/75/16's

[silentsamurai]

They are stock nismo wheels just painted black. I.have sold the truck btw.

[GMcreations77]

@silentsamurai what kind of exhaust? and will it work on a diesel navara d40, the same as yours

[silentsamurai]

@GMcreations77 Title of the video says Banks exhaust. Since it's the same chasis the length isn't a problem, but the mounts might be.

[GMcreations77]

@silentsamurai yeah but will diesel still sound as good as a petrol?

[miamikid772]

where did you get the bilstein decals from?

[silentsamurai]

@miamikid772 ---Ebay. Just look up 'Bilstein decal' or something around those lines.

[CnRDirt]

Next I would do is a 6" lift, 35" tires and bushwacker fender flares

[saywhatfo]

Hey man, nice truck. I am looking at getting an exhaust for my 06. However, I don't want that loud exhaust noise through out the cab of the truck. Does the Banks exhaust sound loud in your cab. I had an aero muffler on it, but the noise was driving me crazy, so I removed it and put the OEM back on. Please, let me know.

Thanks - Roland

[silentsamurai]

Hey Roland. Yea it is kinda loud in the cab. Its 3". Look below in the comments for my other video. The first 10 seconds I have the windows up. Then roll them down. Pretty loud exhaust. Good luck! @saywhatfo

[thepriusisgay]

what % tint is that?

[silentsamurai]

@thepriusisgay No clue. Came with the truck

[remk4]

hermoso..!

[pwrmek]

Awesome truck, thanks for sharing! What is the setup with your rims? They look stock but are black, I am interested in something like that.

[silentsamurai]

@pwrmek - They are stock Nismo 6 spoke rims. Just powder coated black. Thanks for looking.

[TheWoWdudeYouKnow]

how much for tires and from where?

[silentsamurai]

@TheWoWdudeYouKnow. I am now using bridgestone revo2 AT. They are 214.99 at Firestone. That's an each price. Buy them from Firestone

[Kavonalair]

I have a Monster on my 05 with secondary cats cut out. It's WAY louder now.

[mcpimpdaddy1]

Thanks. No, acts like may be the clutch slipping,......possibly

[mcpimpdaddy1]

Just installed Banks Monster Exhaust on my 07 Frontier. I'm having issues with the way it runs on the freeway. Cruise Control shuts off by itself cuz it doesn't seem to be able to pull. and rpm's surge a bit when you try to accelerate a bit on the freeway. Any issues like that with your set-up? Thanks-MC

[silentsamurai]

@mcpimpdaddy1 I am not sure about the cruise control problem. You may want to do a search on clubfrontier to find if anyone else is having that problem. An exhaust wouldn't effect that. Our trucks are known for laggy excel if you are going a steady speed, then step on it, it takes a second or two, then the accel kicks in. It IS a 3" exhaust, but as far as engineering goes, it's shouldn't be THAT noticeable of a change except noise pollution hah

[05front]

hey man sounds great inside. thanx.

[05front]

hey man would you mind revin it a bit more and have an incab vid? please and thanx

[silentsamurai]

@05front  - Yea i'll work on that this weekend and let you know.

[silentsamurai]

@05front Video added. Uploading now. Look in my vids. Called Banks Exhaust Pt. 2 - This is temporary. Will have better footage later.

[JosephMBoyer]

I think i have the same 3inch kit

naice

wish my truck was black

is it nismo?

not really too sure what the difference is

mine is nismo 05, it does have bilstein shocks

[silentsamurai]

Hey Joseph.

Yes, My truck is a 2005 Nismo 4x4. I just removed the Nismo Stickers. They had overspray on them and were scuffed up from wheeling. So i removed them. Thanks for stopin by

[JosephMBoyer]

yea I'm thinking of taking my stickers off

they are kinda chipped and what not

same year as yours

[sldnx10]

nice little truck i like it

[Brendon2121]

"nice little truck i like it"

"little"

I about shit my pants when I read that.

Also, what ever the hell exhaust that is, it's suck ass. Buy nismo.

[silentsamurai]

Nismo is actually smaller, and close to stock as you can get. This is a Banks 3 inch on a 4.0 V6. Couldn't be more perfect if you tried.

[badboy81791]

actually you can. i dont like gipson and not a fan or dynoflow but they sound a hell of alot better than that . if u want the best sound and a mean low sound get a flowmaster super 40

best sounding exhaust on the market

[silentsamurai]

I'll get some better audio one of these days when im not so busy. You've also got a single cab so your sound preseption is alot diff. than mine. Nice yaesu BTW. Just got my call sign on wednesday. Cheers. - Adam

[motorider29]

[silentsamurai]

@motorider29 - It's a 3" leveling kit. You can get them just about anywhere. PRG makes a good product. Thanks for stoppin by
