Banks 51313 Monster Exhaust System: Unleash Your Vehicle's Power Review

02 TJ. The manifold flange on the front of the muffler does not fit into the factory cat flange, not sealing properly. The axle above the section touches the aftermarket cross member. Despite bumps, torsions, etc., the last section almost touches the shock. The end of the tube is too short for the secondary bumper, the tip sits underneath instead of protruding. It's included, non-refundable. In the summer, the mufflers have to be repaired in the shop. Sounds good, but Banks needs to take…

This exhaust system has the highest ratings and contains better materials than almost every other exhaust system I've looked at. There's no point spending a few hundred bucks more for MBRP, Magnaflow, or Borla if it sounds just as good or even better. I researched and watched YouTube videos for a few weeks before purchasing to see which one I wanted. The differences between the 5 systems I checked were so minimal that I looked through the Jeep threads to see what people were saying. Nobody has…

I'm happy with the sound and the extra power. I don't like rust. I installed this a year ago and the yokes (not stainless steel) became so badly rusted that even with a flashlight the bolts broke.

My recommendation would be to paint with a good high temp paint and of course remove the factory oil finish and prime it properly. Also,

So, 1998 Wrangler. No Cats, Headdress headline. Silencer and tip - very good quality, sounds great, also aggressive, looks very good and clean. I'm not sure. I'll just say it. The engineer on this project was paid a lot for half a dollar of work. I listed the correct year jeep and they sent me a muffler adapter for another year. The tube hangers above the axle appear to have been welded backwards, causing the tube to move an inch and a half, making it extremely difficult to fit the hangers into

I bought this a few days ago for my 02 Tj 4.0 5 speed and here is my review. First, the kit does not match the picture. The exhaust tip is not a lapel down but a large oval tip. I like it much better than in the photo. The exhaust pipe coming from the muffler is not solid, as in the picture, but in two parts. I personally didn't like that aspect. This is another connection that needs to be clamped. I had a hard time getting everything right. In the end, the exhaust pipe was too close to the…
