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.
3.
Starting at the rear of the vehicle,
remove the tailpipe near the muffler
clamps by cutting through the
connection or by removing the clamps
and heating the joints with an oxy-
acetylene torch to allow crimped pipes
to separate. Remove the tailpipe from
the vehicle.
4.
Remove the clamps on the to
catalytic converter to front muffler
or if applicable, the intermediate
pipe connection. TAKE CAUTION TO
NOT CUT OR DAMAGE CATALYTIC
CONVERTER TUBING. Separate the
muffler/ intermediate pipe to catalytic
converter connection.
Note: the use of an oxy-acetylene
torch may be necessary. Remove the
muffler hanger pins from the rubber
hangers with a pry bar (Spray lubricant
will ease hanger removal) and remove
the muffler/intermediate pipe or
muffler assembly from the vehicle.
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 grid work 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 grid
work. If your catalytic converter is
damaged, it may be covered under
your vehicle’s emissions warranty.

inlet with the hanger pin facing the
front of the vehicle. Install the Banks
Monster Muffler (note the muffler inlet

pin into the corresponding rubber
hanger (see Figure 2). With the muffler
inlet fully inserted, loosely tighten
the hanger clamp on the muffler inlet
swedge.
