Banks PowerPack System

When you think of Banks, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?  That’s right!  Power!  Power has been a focus of Gale Banks since 1956 when he was 14.  That was when he did his first engine rebuild and ended up giving it an additional 40 horsepower!  Two years later, he started Banks Power.  He was just 16. 

Flash forward to today and Gale is still in control of Banks Power.  Banks Power is one of the most respected names in the industry.  They provide parts to not just car and truck owners, but also boat owners and even the U. S. military. 

If you are a driver you know that you need an exhaust system.  If you are an off road enthusiast, you know how extremely important an awesome exhaust system is.  Banks knows this to and has built the Banks PowerPack System for those who appreciate how critical a piece of equipment the exhaust system truly is.

This is a combination of all of the 4.0L Jeep airflow upgraded products that are made by Banks.  This allows for maximum power regardless of the terrain you are traveling on.  Banks began this project with the Banks Ram Air Intake which is of the free breathing type.  They added the Monster Exhaust which everyone knows is high intake.  Next they added the Torque Tubes exhaust manifold.  This optimizes your torque.  With the PowerPack, the restrictions on intake and exhaust put in place by the factory and their equipment have been eliminated.  Because the engine efficiency is better with the PowerPack, your rear wheels get more power.  Your fuel efficiency will improve and your engine will actually last longer!  Your ensuing exhaust note will be both authoritative and rich.  Included in this system is a stainless steel tail pipe that you can get in your choice of black or chrome.  They also included the Banks AutoMind Programmer which comes pre-loaded with power and has towing, sporting and economy settings as soon as it comes out of the box.  This is an innovation that’s inception was purposed to improve MPG.  This can also display important engine functions while providing diagnostic capabilities and can not only scan but also clear trouble codes.

Banks Monster Exhaust

 When most people think about a vehicle’s exhaust system, it is just about whether their vehicle will pass the emission test to get their sticker so the cops won’t give then a ticket for not having one.  At Banks Power, it is about a lot more than that.

First I’ll relate to you a small story about how Banks Power came into existence.

In 1956 there was a 14 year old boy named Gale Banks who decided to tear down the engine in his mother’s 1931 Ford Model A.  By the time he was finished ‘fixing’ it, it had a total of 40 extra horsepower!  That began a love that has only grown and just 2 years later at only 16, Gale formed Banks Power. 

Since then, the company has grown and now encompasses a 12 acre campus where Banks products are designed, tested and manufactured.  They hold patents on quite a few of their products and are even consulted by not just car manufacturers but also the U.S. military!

Ok, now for the Banks Exhaust System.  The Monster Exhaust 3.8L is just one of the many exhaust systems and parts offered by Banks.

Monster Exhaust 3.8L

This exhaust system is for Jeeps 2007 – 2010 models with a 3.8L V6 engine.  The entire exhaust system is made from stainless steel.  This system features a huge 2.5’’ tailpipe and the tip is actually polished to a mirror finish!  If you do not like the polished stainless tip, you can opt for a black tip.  Another feature is the straight-through performance muffler which just happens to be the least restrictive in the industry and as such, it more than doubles the flow of the stock muffler. 

If you have been experiencing backpressure from your catalytic converter, this is the exhaust system for you as it virtually eliminates it. 

This system comes as a complete kit including the Stainless monster muffler, tailpipe with either stainless steel or black tip; it also comes with all of the hardware that is needed to mount it.

When you get ready to purchase your Banks exhaust system, you can purchase directly from the factory by calling the 800 number on their web site.  Alternatively, you can do a web search for whatever Banks exhaust system you need and purchase it from one of the many e-tailers that are listed as selling Banks exhaust systems.    

Banks Exhaust System

Banks Power has been a powerhouse in the automotive industry ever since it began in 1958.  The kicker is that it was started by a 16 year old boy!  His name was Gale Banks and he is still the head of the company today.  When he was just 14, he did a complete rebuild of the engine in his mother’s 1931 Model A Ford and by the time he was finished, he had added a whopping 40 horsepower to it!  Since the company began, Gale has made many new products and holds patents on many of them.  The U. S. military uses him as a consultant on their vehicles and so do many of the major car manufacturers.  Gale himself has actually raced vehicles and holds a few records!

Ok, that is a bit of background for you.  With all of that being said, Banks Power employees will tell you that first and foremost, Banks is an engineering firm.  They strive to engineer, test and market the best automotive products in the world.  Do they succeed?  You be the judge.
