On vehicles with a catalytic
converter: Install the Banks Brake
assembly onto the 4-bolt flange using
the factory studs and previously
removed nuts. Install the supplied
exhaust gasket between the Banks
Brake and the 4-bolt exhaust flange.
Snug the nuts up and adjust the
brake housing to align the two flange
halves with each other. Evenly torque
the flange nuts to 50 ft-lbs (see
Figure 16).
CAUTION: The following step
involves cutting a stainless steel
tube. Safety glasses should be
worn during any cutting
operation, and care should be
taken to avoid injury due to sharp
edges and burrs.
58.
The exhaust brake outlet pipe
must be trimmed to the proper
length prior to installation.
Figure 17
illustrates the proper trim dimensions
depending on the cab/bed
configuration of the vehicle. The pipe
can be trimmed with a hacksaw and
the end of the pipe should be de-
burred to prevent the possibility of
injury due to sharp edges.
59.
Install the supplied V-band clamp
on the outlet of the brake housing.
Do not tighten clamp at this time.
60.
Slide the supplied exhaust band
clamp over the inlet to the
intermediate pipe. Do not tighten
the clamp at this time.
61.
Slide the outlet of the exhaust
brake outlet pipe into the slip joint on
the intermediate pipe.
NOTE: Disengaging the intermediate
pipe and tailpipe hangers from their
rubber mounts may ease installation
of the exhaust brake outlet pipe.
Spray lubricant (i.e. WD-40, etc.) and
a pry bar will make disengagement of
the hangers a much simpler task.
62.
NOTE: Steps 61-66 are
provided to adapt the Banks Brake to
a factory exhaust configuration. If the
system is being installed on a vehicle
that is already equipped with a Banks
Monster Exhaust system, skip to
Step 67.
63.
Mark a line 5" back from the
4-bolt exhaust flange interface as
shown in
Figure 18. Using a
hacksaw or similar cutting tool,
cut the pipe at the previously
marked line.
64.
Remove the four (4) retaining
nuts (retain for re-use) from the 4-bolt
flange and remove rearmost flange
and the gasket. Both pieces (gasket
and pipe) may be discarded.
65.
Place a mark on the inlet to the
intermediate pipe that is 3" from the
previously cut edge of the pipe.
NOTE: This mark is used in a
subsequent step to ensure proper
engagement of the exhaust brake
adapter pipe.
66.
Install the supplied gasket onto
the 4-bolt flange. Install the Banks
Brake onto the 4-bolt flange as
shown in
Figure 16 using the
previously removed bolts, attach the
Banks Brake to the flange. Torque the
nuts to 30 ft-lbs.
67.
Slide the supplied exhaust band
clamp over the inlet to the
