Monster Exhaust System Installation
1.
As a precaution, disconnect the
ground of the battery (if there is more
than one battery, disconnect both).
2.
Raise the vehicle and support it with
properly weight rated safety stands,
ramps or a commercial hoist. Follow the
manufacturer’s safety precautions. Take
care to balance the vehicle to prevent
it from slipping or falling. When using
ramps, be sure the front wheels are
centered squarely on the topsides; place
the transmission in park; set the parking
brake and place blocks behind the rear
wheels.
CAUTION: DO NOT WORK UNDER
ANY VEHICLE SUPPORTED ONLY
BY A JACK. SEVERE INJURY MAY
RESULT.
WARNING! The following step may
require the use of a torch and/
or saw. Proper safety equipment
should be used. Failure to use
proper safety equipment may
result in severe injury.
3.
Removal of the factory exhaust can
be simplified by cutting the factory
exhaust pipe behind the muffler. This
will allow the tailpipe to be removed as a
separate piece.
4.
Remove the factory tailpipe from
the vehicle by disengaging the exhaust
system hanger pins from the rubber
hangers using a large screw-driver or pry
bar.
NOTE: Lubricating the rubber hangers
with WD-40 or similar lubricant will ease
removal of the hanger pins.
5.
Remove the factory muffler from the
vehicle by removing the three (3) nuts
from the factory exhaust flange located
at the factory muffler inlet.
6.
Locate the supplied intermediate pipe
and cut the intermediate pipe based
on the following configurations. See
Table 1. Cut the NON-flanged end of the
intermediate pipe. See Figure 2.
7.
Install the Banks intermediate pipe
and 3-bolt gasket onto the headpipe.
Loosely assemble with the supplied
bolts, washers, and nuts.
8.
Slide the supplied 4” exhaust hanger
clamp onto the outlet of the Banks
flanged intermediate pipe. Insert the
hanger pin into the factory rubber
hanger.
9.
Route the Front Tailpipe over the
rear axle housing and install the Front
Tailpipe onto the Banks Intermediate
pipe outlet. Loosely snug the rear hanger
clamp.
10.
Install the 4” exhaust clamp onto
the inlet of the Rear Tailpipe. Start
the Rear tailpipe hanger pin into the
corresponding vehicle rubber hanger.
Position the rubber hanger as shown in
Figure 3. Install the Rear Tailpipe over
the outlet of the Front Tailpipe. Slide the
4” clamp into position that best supports
the tailpipe assembly. Loosely snug the
hanger clamp on the intermediate pipe
outlet.
NOTE: Maintain an adequate air gap
clearance of one (1) inch between the
exhaust and the shock absorber and
between the exhaust and the spare tire.
11.
Install Banks Monster tailpipe
tip with exhaust band clamp on the
exhaust. Keep the wrapping on until
installation is complete. Adjust the tip
past the edge of the body or where
aesthetically pleasing. Loosely snug the
4” clamp.
NOTE: Minimum distance between
exhaust tip and body is one (1) inch.
12.
With everything positioned properly,
begin to tighten the clamps starting
with the ones closest to the turbo and
working your way back. Evenly torque
the exhaust clamps to 35 ft-lbs. Make
sure that each slip is fully inserted (+/-
1⁄4 inch).
