Note: this Manual contains
installation instructions for
Monster exhaust, techni-Cooler,
Quick-turbo and AutoMind
Programmer. Depending on the
system you have purchased, some
of these components may not be
included. Review the entire manual
and select the installation sections
that apply to your product.
For Git-Kit installation, proceed to
Step 2 .
1.
Replace the factory air filter element
with the Banks Ram-Air ® filter.
2.
Raise the vehicle on a hoist or
safety stands to provide access to the
exhaust system. Loosen the clamp at
the front of the muffler and pry the
muffler and tailpipe hanger pins from
the rubber hangers. Remove the muffler
and tailpipe from the vehicle. Cutting
the tailpipe may ease the process of
removal.
wARNING: At the outlet of each
exhaust manifold, locate the short
section of tubing that feeds exhaust
up to the turbocharger. Check these
tubes to ensure that they are not
loose, as we have found several
vehicles with exhaust leaks in this
area. Correct this condition now
or soon after installation of the
PowerPack components to eliminate
dangerous exhaust leaks and poor
turbocharger performance.
For Git-Kit installation, proceed to
Section 6 .
3. For vehicles with catalytic converter:
Mark a point 4“ from the forward edge
of the weld at the inlet of the catalytic
converter on the downward facing side
of the pipe.
4.
Remove the remaining portion of the
exhaust system from the vehicle. Retain
the V-band clamp for reuse.
For vehicles with catalytic converter:
The converter must be reinstalled in the
vehicle. Remove the intermediate pipe
from the outlet end of the converter. At
the mark previously made, cut through
the pipe square with the remaining face of
the pipe as shown in Figure 1.
IMPoRTANT: If the vehicle
is equipped with a catalytic
converter, it should be inspected.
Diesel catalysts may become
plugged with soot and can cause
a restriction to exhaust flow,
impeding performance. Shine a
powerful flashlight into the inlet
end of the converter. observe the
light through the other end of the
converter. The full circle of the
flashlight should be visible without
any blockage in the gridwork of
the catalyst. If excessive soot is
observed, the catalyst may need to
be cleaned. TAKE PRECAuTIoNS to
avoid blowing soot toward the work
area or where it could be inhaled.
ALwAyS use breathing protection.
Also inspect the catalyst for damage
(i.e. chips, bent corners, etc.) to the
gridwork.
5.
Locate the 7” x 24” blanket
heatshield provided. Form the heat
shield to the shape of the Banks
Monster T.O.P. (turbine outlet pipe) in
the vertical section of the pipe. Secure
the heat shield to the T.O.P. using the
wire ties provided.
