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), set the parking brake and
securely block the wheels that are on
the ground.

From under the vehicle remove the
factory exhaust starting at the rear
of the muffler. Remove the tailpipe
by removing the factory band clamp
on the muffler to tailpipe connection.
Remove the factory tailpipe hanger
pin (attached to resonator) from the
rubber grommet and remove the
tailpipe from the vehicle.
NOTE: Spray lubricant may assist in
hanger pin removal. Rubber hangers
can also be removed from the vehicle
to assist in tailpipe / muffler removal.
4.
Loosen the factory band clamp at
the front of the muffler. Remove the
front and dual rear muffler hanger pins
from the rubber hangers. Remove the
muffler from the vehicle. The factory
resonator pipe will remain on the
vehicle.

Install the 3” single pin hanger
clamp onto the inlet of the Banks
intermediate pipe. Insert the hanger
pin into the vehicle’s rubber hanger.
Install the Banks intermediate pipe
onto the factory resonator. Orient the
intermediate pipe as shown in Figure 2.
NOTE: Once the pipe / muffler has
been completely engaged in the slip
joint, mark the pipe with a scribe or
tape for reference when tightening the
clamps later in the installation. Mark
each slip joint in this fashion.
6.
Install a 3” saddle clamp onto the
intermediate pipe outlet. Install the
Monster Muffler inlet (Note the inlet
labeling of the muffler). Orient the
Monster logo such that it is visible
from the passenger side and parallel
with the frame rail. Align the clamp
onto the muffler outlet (see Figure 2).
NOTE: All clamps should be positioned
at the beginning of the slots (on the 1 ⁄
2
circle punch) and evenly tightened.

Install the 3” dual hanger clamp
onto the Banks Muffler outlet such that
the hanger pins are facing forward.
Install the two (2) clamp hanger pins
into the corresponding muffler rubber
grommet (see Figure 3).
8.
From the vehicle rear, route the
tailpipe over the rear end. Start
the tailpipe hanger pin into the
corresponding vehicle rubber hanger.
Install the tailpipe into the Banks
Muffler outlet. Lightly tighten the rear
muffler hanger clamp to secure the
tailpipe (see Figure 3).
9.
Adjust the tip about 1 ⁄
2
” under the
body panel, such that the tip position
is aesthetically pleasing (See Figure 3).
10.
With the exhaust positioned
properly, begin to tighten the clamps
starting with the ones closest to the
front of the vehicle and working your
way back. Torque the exhaust clamps
evenly to 35 ft-lbs. Make sure that
each slip is fully inserted (+/- 1 ⁄
4
”).
