Stinger® System

Banks iQ upgradeNo airflow gridlock.

Stinger replaces the power-robbing factory airflow inefficiencies with free-flowing components that dramatically increase intake airflow and air density and expel exhaust with virtually no backpressure.

A lot of power on a little fuel.

Banks balances the improved airflow with advanced CleanTune™ Technology for up to 32% more HP and 38% more torque than stock without adding black smoke. This is load-hauling, hill-taming power that keeps its cool. Stinger will rocket you from 0-60 mph 40% quicker and from 40-60 mph 42% quicker when towing. And thanks to EconoMind’s fuel savings features, you’ll get more MPG, too. Very cool!

Engineered. Not thrown together.

Forget mismatched components. Run away from tuners that can destroy your engine. Everything in Stinger is engineered to work together to maximize your engine’s power, efficiency and durability. Stinger honors your vehicle by safely living within the limits of your engine and powertrain. Your Duramax will run stronger and live longer!

All gains measured at the rear wheels.

LLY Stinger & SpeedBrake

2010-03-10

I purchased your Stinger system and Speedbrake. I wanted to let you know that from placing the order to actually installing everything - it was very easy. In the past "bolt-on" had a different meaning. However, your kit truly lives up to "bolt-on" and "plug-in" then drive & enjoy. I can't believe how nice the muffler sounds - quite but provides just a little rumble - like none other that I have had in the past. It is still very quite in the cab of the truck and you can carry on a conversation with ease.
