Banks Power Monster Exhaust


Why would you consider using an ill-fitting, cheap exhaust system on your rig?  The Monster Exhaust system that is made by Banks Power has been constructed from stainless steel that is long lasting and quite rugged.  It will give you a fit that is better than that of the competition too.  This is due to the fact that Banks Power makes this system to be able to reuse your factory installed hangers while it also maintains the proper clearance for each of the components under your rig.

Banks Power has been making improvements in air flow for close to 50 years now and as such, they have become masters at the art of getting the maximum amount of air flow while also getting the minimum amount of back pressure.  The Monster Exhaust system has a Monster Muffler that is polished stainless steel and is of the straight through variety.  The system also comes with the intermediate pipes that have been mandrel bent as well as a tailpipe that has also been mandrel bent.  These components allow for the exhaust flow to be nearly tripled while backpressure is cut by up to 98%.  There is also a rolled edge tip that measures 5 inches and is available in your choice of high temp black or chrome over stainless.  In order to assist in making it look good for a longer time, there is also an air gap that measures ½ of an inch that will keep the heat from being able to tarnish the finish.  All of this is topped off with a clamp that is adjustable which allows for you to be able to position the tip at the ideal place on the tail pipe.

Many mufflers of the straight through type will deliver a drone that is quite obnoxious.  This drone can actually make conversations near impossible.  The Monster muffler that is made by Banks Power has been sound tested extensively and has been designed with an expansion chamber that is quite unique.    It also features packing that is high temperature resistant.  This means that instead of that annoying drone, you get an exhaust note that is rich yet authoritative while still managing to be civil.  In other words, this system sounds just as great as it appears!

Features at a Glance

·         This exhaust system will cut the amount of backpressure while nearly tripling the flow of exhaust

·         The Monster Exhaust is built for your specific model, make and year so you know you will get a perfect fit

·         This exhaust system by Banks Power gives you gains in fuel economy, horsepower and torque

The Ram Air filter that is made by Banks Power is also called the Ram Air filter element.  This is an air filter that is meant to last to a lifetime.  It is one that is high flow and will decrease the amount of intake restriction which means that your engine will receive more of the cooler, denser air so that is will run more efficiently.  Even when this filter is dirty or wet it will outperform the more conventional types of air filters.  This is because it has a design that consists of multiple layers and as such it is better able to trap any sort of moisture.  It is also able to keep more of the debris and dust on the outer surface – which is oiled – which allows for the air to continue flowing smoothly.  This air filter also comes with a service kit for you to utilize every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. 

This filter is made from pleated cotton and it will outlast every other filter on the market.  The air flows more smoothly than it does with the factory installed paper filter. 

This filer has a cold air housing that is enclosed, an inlet that is massive and is large and has a dome shape that is more streamlined.  When you install this filter in your Jeep, your engine will get more of the dense, cool air that it needs to give you a performance that gives you gains in both power and fuel economy.  This filter flows up to 50% more efficiently that the stock ones do and it gets more air to the inlet of the turbo than a stock filter will.

Features at a Glance

·         When you purchase this air filter you will also get a service kit that is meant to be used every 30,000 to 50,000 miles

The filter in question consists of many layers of cotton gauze that have been sandwiched in between screens that are made from aluminum.  With a construction such as this, these filters are better able to catch dirt, dust and debris before it can get into your engine and start causing problems.    

This gauze is coated with a special type of oil that allows it to catch the dust just like fly paper catches flies.  What is incredible is that when it is dirty, it catches even more of the harmful particles! 

When you want your engine to run at peak performance then you need to get this Ram Air filter that is made by Banks Power.

Banks Power 3.6L Stinger System Performance System


This system that is made by Banks Power is only intended for use on the 2012 – 2014 Jeeps.  This is a power system that has been designed for both off road and street applications.  It features a Ram Air Intake system that is free breathing as well as a Monster Exhaust kit.  As such, the Stinger system will free your Jeep from air flow restrictions thereby improving the efficiency of your engine as well as enhancing the fuel economy and durability all while also giving you gains in power.  The exhaust note is one that is authoritative while still being civil.  You will also get an exhaust tip that is made from stainless steel and comes in your choice of finishes: high temp black or chrome over stainless steel.  The Stinger system is available with the Auto Mind Programmer or without it.

Monster Exhaust

This is one of the components in the Stinger System.  It has been constructed from stainless steel that is of a heavy gauge.  This exhaust system features a tail pipe that is supersized and has a diameter of 2 ½ inches as well as a tail pipe tip that is also made from stainless steel and has been polished until it has a mirror finish.  If that isn’t to your taste, you can also get the tip in black.  The system also comes with a performance muffler of the straight through variety.  This muffler is the least restrictive one in the entire industry and it will more than double the flow when compared to your factory installed muffler.

The Monster system will virtually eliminate any sort of back pressure going from the catalytic converter on back so that you get more efficiency and power while still retaining a civil exhaust note. 

The Monster system comes to you complete with the tip in your choice of finishes – black or chrome – as well as the tail pipe and the muffler.  All of these components have been fashioned from stainless steel.

Ram Air Intake

This is another of the components in the Stinger system that is made by Banks Power.  This system replaces that flat panel filter that the factory installed with one that is conical shaped and large.  This is a filter that will last you a lifetime as it also provides high flow filtration.  The opening for the Ram Air is one that puts the stock inlet to shame and it doesn’t have the 90 degree turns and bends that can kill your power by choking the flow of air.  The inlet is massive and the housing is enclosed while the tubes are much larger.  This means that restrictions are greatly reduced which dramatically increases the flow of air to the cylinders.
