install the metal fresh-air hose adapter fitting
in the fresh air duct above the radiator bulk-
head panel. push the fresh-air hose adapter so it
may be bolted to the bulkhead. use a 5 ⁄
16
– 18 x 3 ⁄
4
hex
bolt and a 5 ⁄
16
– 18 nylock nut to mount the adapter to
the existing hole in the bulkhead panel (see Figure
5 ). (If the adapter can be used, but the tab will not
line up with the existing hole, drill a new hole as
required.)
determine a location for the banks super-
scoop. It should be placed as low as possible
directly behind the grille, with the air inlet opening
pointing straight ahead. If the grille is at an angle,
the super-scoop should be trimmed at an angle,
whenever possible, to place the air inlet opening
against the back side of the grille with the centerline
of the inlet opening horizontal. See Figure 6. use
heavy snips or a hacksaw to trim the air inlet opening
of the super-scoop. The height between the super-
scoop and the air inlet hood should be as great as
possible to prevent any rain water not eliminated
by the scoop’s water drain hole from climbing up
into the air filter. The curved outlet section of the
super-scoop may be trimmed back if less bend is
required to make a more streamlined hose routing.
See Figure 6 .
once a location has been determined for
the super-scoop, mount it using one of the
methods outlined below.
The banks super-scoop may be mounted by several
means. If the grille consists of horizontal bars or a
perforated metal screen heavy enough to support
the inductor, it may be secured using four 14” nylon
cable ties, provided, slipped through the ears on the
scoop and through the grille. See Figure 7.
an alternate method is to mount the inductor
using the four perforated metal straps provided.
these can be bent as required and attached to
the scoop’s ears with the 1 ⁄

20 x 1 11 ⁄

hex bolts,
1 ⁄

-20 nylock nuts and 3 ⁄

o.d. x 5 ⁄

I.d. flat washers
provided. The opposite end of the straps may be
attached to any convenient mounting points such
as the gravel pan, grille brackets, etc. as required,
with four no. 10 x 3 ⁄
4
” sheet metal screws provided.
a combination of cable ties and scraps may also be
used.
connect the fresh air inlet on the air filter
housing to the super-scoop using the 4”
diameter flex hose provided. cut the hose to the
desired length using a knife and diagonal cutting
pliers. secure with no. 64 hose claps.
remove the air cleaner housing cover.
replace the factory paper element with
the banks ram-air filter element.
install the chrome tip and chrome tailpipe
heat shield on the tailpipe as shown in Figure
1 . tip may be slid in or out on the tailpipe to match
the body width.
note: If possible, leave tailpipe within 2” of end
of chrome tip inside the tip. this will protect the
chrome from changing color from high exhaust heat.
Shorten tailpipe if required.
re-connect battery cables. re-install engine
“dog house” cover.
start engine and listen for any exhaust leaks.
tighten bolts or clamps to correct leaks as
required. allow engine to warm up and test drive
vehicle.
note: exhaust tubing will smoke for the first
15-20 minutes of operation. this is normal, as
grease used in the bending process will burn off
the inside of the pipes.
