Looking at SFT and Banks, what are the pros/cons of each?

I have a stock 15 RAM 1500 and looking for the least invasive way to add performance and fuel economy and reduce the risk of fire.

The fires are caused by the coolant leaking into the egr manifold then turning into superheated steam and apparently the damn coolant is actually flammable at high temps, add a plastic intake manifold and proof. Engine fire. You would need to get a tune that would eliminate the egr function, which is illegal for a street driven truck, then bypass the water/coolant line into egr effectively taking it out of the mix. Depending on where you live, that could be a problem with the emission testing. Banks doesn't do any of that.

“Tuning-off” the EGR/ EGR Cooler isn’t going to prevent failure. It needs to be deleted all together.
