Banks Exhaust System

Banks Power has been a powerhouse in the automotive industry ever since it began in 1958.  The kicker is that it was started by a 16 year old boy!  His name was Gale Banks and he is still the head of the company today.  When he was just 14, he did a complete rebuild of the engine in his mother’s 1931 Model A Ford and by the time he was finished, he had added a whopping 40 horsepower to it!  Since the company began, Gale has made many new products and holds patents on many of them.  The U. S. military uses him as a consultant on their vehicles and so do many of the major car manufacturers.  Gale himself has actually raced vehicles and holds a few records!

Ok, that is a bit of background for you.  With all of that being said, Banks Power employees will tell you that first and foremost, Banks is an engineering firm.  They strive to engineer, test and market the best automotive products in the world.  Do they succeed?  You be the judge.
