1.
Disconnect the negative (ground)
cable from the battery (if there is more
than one battery, disconnect both
negative cables). Secure the cable so
it cannot accidentally come in contact
with the post.
2.
Raise the vehicle and support it
securely with properly weight-rated
safety stands, ramps or a commercial
hoist. Take care to balance the vehicle
to prevent it from slipping or falling.
When using ramps, be sure the wheels
are centered squarely on the topsides.
Place the transmission in park
(automatic) or reverse (manual), set
the parking brake and securely block
the wheels that are on the ground.
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.
Begin removing the factory exhaust
starting at the muffler. Remove the
muffler and tailpipe assembly by
removing the clamps or cutting the
through the pipe near the joints.
Remove tailpipe hanger pin from the
rubber hanger.
Note, to remove the factory exhaust,
an oxy-acetylene torch can be used
to heat the factory joints to allow the
crimped pipes to separate.
4.
Remove muffler’s dual rear hanger
pins and single front hanger from the
rubber hangers. Remove the tailpipe
and muffler.
5.
Slide a 3” saddle clamp over
the inlet of the Banks intermediate
pipe (smaller pipe). Install the Banks
intermediate pipe and clamp over the
factory intermediate pipe outlet. If no
factory intermediate pipe is installed,
align the Banks intermediate pipe
notch with the catalytic converter pin.
Snug the 3” clamp.
Note: all clamps should be positioned
at the beginning of the slots (on the 1 ⁄
2
circle punch) and evenly tightened.
6.
Install a 3” saddle clamp onto the
inlet of the Banks heat-shielded rear
intermediate pipe. Install the Banks
rear intermediate pipe onto the front
intermediate pipe outlet. Snug the 3”
clamp.
7.
Install the front hanger clamp (single
pin) onto the intermediate pipe outlet.
Insert the hanger pin into the rubber
hanger. Install the Banks Dynaflow
muffler onto the intermediate pipe
outlet (see Figure 6).
8.
Install the rear hanger clamp onto
the Dynaflow muffler outlet. Rotate
the muffler such that the inlet is at the
bottom of muffler and there is equal
clearance between the frame and
drive-shaft (see Figure 6).
9.
Two (2) tailpipe options are
available to provide either right-side
(passenger) or left-side (driver) exit.
Refer to the appropriate installation
steps for your configuration.
10.
Route the upper tailpipe into
the muffler outlet. Depending on the
storage box configuration, the upper
tailpipe may need to be trimmed.
Align the lower tailpipe along side
the upper tailpipe until it is level and
1 1 ⁄
2
to 2 inches below the bottom of
the storage boxes. Be sure there is a
minimum of 8” between the tip and
ground. Mark the location of the upper
tailpipe at the bottom of the swedge
(see Figure 7). Trim the upper tailpipe.
11.
Place a 3.5” saddle clamp on the
lower tailpipe and assemble the lower
tailpipe to the upper tailpipe. Snug the
3.5” clamp.
