Monster Exhaust System Installation:
1. 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.
CauTIoN: Do NoT WoRK uNDER aNY VEHICLE SuPPoRTED oNLY BY a JaCK. SEVERE INJuRY MaY RESuLT.
3. 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.
5. 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.
7. 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”).
