Stinger Installation
1.
Disconnect and remove the factory
tailpipe and muffler starting from the
exhaust connection closest to the
front of the muffler. Start from the
rear and work forward, prying the pins
from the rubber hangers, removing the
tailpipe, then the muffler. If the slip
joints will not come apart, use a torch
to heat the connections until they
separate, or cut the pipes apart with
a saw or torch. Save all hardware and
hangers as some items will be reused
in the PowerPack installation.
2.
For 2011 Models ONLY
Locate the factory intermediate pipe
and cut 10 inches from the NON-
swedged end of the intermediate pipe.
See Figure 6.
3.
Place the single pin 3” hanger
clamp onto the Dynaflow Muffler inlet.
Install the dual hanger pin 3.5” hanger
clamp onto the muffler outlet. With
the hanger pins facing the front of the
vehicle.
4.
Install the Banks Dynaflow muffler
and hanger clamps onto the catalytic
converter outlet. Position the pin
hangers into the rubber hangers on
the frame, and adjust the rotation of
the muffler as necessary to position
the hanger pins level in the vehicle.
Make sure that the hangers are
hanging forward. This will allow the
hangers to swing as the exhaust
system expands while the engine is
running. The clamps should be on
the arch of the slots punched on the
muffler.
5.
Lift the Banks Monster tailpipe
up and over the axle and insert the
Banks Monster tailpipe into the end
of the muffler. Set the tailpipe into
the factory hanger saddle. clamp the
pipe to the saddle using a 3 1 ⁄
2
” clamp.
Level the tip of the tailpipe and tighten
all clamps.
6.
Mount the floor heat shield and
polished tip onto the pipe using the
3 1 ⁄
2
” clamps provided.
7.
Lower the vehicle and reconnect
the battery cables. Start the engine
and listen for any exhaust leaks.
Tighten bolts or clamps to correct any
leaks or make adjustment as required.
It is recommended that tack welds
be placed on all slip connections to
prevent slippage.
Note: The vehicle exhaust may smoke
upon initial start-up. This is normal,
as grease used in the tube-bending
process burns out of the pipes.
