Insert the intermediate pipe

inlet onto the flanged intermediate

pipe outlet. Install the intermediate

pipe hanger pin(s) into the vehicle

rubber grommets.
NOTE: Once the pipe has been

completely engaged in the slip

joint, it should be marked with a

marker, scribe or tape for reference

when tightening clamps later in the

installation. Each slip joint in the

system should be marked in this

fashion. When the exhaust system is

being adjusted to align the hangers,

the slip joints can be adjusted so that

the reference mark is no more than

⁄

” away from its original position.

Step 14 thru 21 applies only to

single tailpipe systems.
Skip to Step 22 if installing Banks

Split-Dual Monster Exhaust System.

thru 21)

14.

Slide one (1) of the supplied

4-inch exhaust clamps over the

Banks intermediate pipe.
Note: On extended cab long-bed

and crew-cab long-bed vehicle, the

clamp that is used between the

intermediate pipe and muffler is a

combination hanger/clamp. When

this hanger clamp is installed the

hanger pin should be inserted into

the factory rubber hanger and the

clamp should be rotated until the

hanger pin is parallel with the frame-

mounted pin before being torqued.

15.

Install the muffler onto the end

of the intermediate pipe outlet. Be

sure that the inlet side of the muffler

(see markings on muffler body)

is facing toward the front of the

vehicle. Orient the muffler such that

the “Banks Monster” logo is facing

towards the frame and is level with

the ground. Verify that the muffler

and intermediate pipe are completely

engaged.

16.

Slide one (1) of the supplied

4” exhaust clamps onto the Banks

Monster muffler outlet.

17.

Install the tailpipe into the outlet

of the muffler. Be sure that the two

pipes are completely engaged. Insert

the front and rear tailpipe hanger

pins into the factory rubber hangers.

Rotate the tailpipe until the hanger

pins are parallel with the frame

mounted pin.
NOTE: Minimum distance between

exhaust tip and body a half (

⁄

) inch.

18.

Adjust each of the pipes to

ensure that all of the hanger pins

are parallel with the frame-mounted

pins and that the rubber hangers are

all positioned slightly forward (See

Figure 3). The amount of forward

angle on the rubber hangers should

increase the farther downstream the

hanger is positioned. This allows the

hangers to be properly positioned

once the exhaust system reaches

operating temperature.

19.

Tighten the head pipe V-band

clamp to 12 ft-lbs (if previously

loosened).
