Review on Banks 48138 Monster Exhaust System by James Naylor

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cans 48138 Great product 2005 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab

2005 Toyota Tacoma 4.0, installation was easier with two people, great product, well thought out in design and has a nice aggressive sound. The product in the picture is not what you will receive, there will be a different clamp, and the front and rear tubes are two-piece. Also, the exhaust on this pack isn't welded, it's attached with a stainless steel strap that doesn't show unless you're really looking for it. I gave four stars because the supplied clamps are not made of stainless steel and after the first rain they already got water stains and light rust spots. I can get some high temp paint or replace them with some 3" stainless steel clamps which will be available soon. It fits great with few issues and didn't have to cut/drill anything or anything. You may have to buy new springs and front flange bolts if you have to cut them off (I was lucky they came out with some sort of handle). I bought new rubber isolators because my pickup has clocked over 131,000 miles and seems to have rotted.

Pros
  • Catalysts
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
