Banks Intake And Exhaust Installation Review

Banks Intake And Exhaust Installation Review

I'll start off by saying that my testing was performed on a 6-cylinder '98 Toyota Tacoma with manual transmission. It is very important to keep in mind the vehicle that companies use to do their testing. They will many times state the best case scenario. Of course they do this, they're trying to sell, keep this in mind when you are doing research for your next performance pick me up. So if you have close to what's under the hood of a 98 Tacoma that has 150,000 miles on it, then your ride is close to the condition as mine.

My goal was to find a system that came with both an intake and exhaust setup because I knew eventually that I wanted both, and I wanted to stay true to one company because I truly believe that if you go with one company, that they custom fit each part to work well together. I have seen several kits out there that are mismatched with different brands, and I have seen some funky fits under the hood.

My first step was to work on the intake. I wanted to measure the improvement of each individual upgrade, then measure the difference with both upgrades. I haven't read anywhere about anyone measuring the total improvement and seeing if each individual improvement equaled the total improvement or if more gains are received with both paired up.

The intake in my Tacoma was quite easy to remove, just a few brackets and all were laid out pretty clearly both in my owner's manual as well as the install manual provided in the Banks package that I used. I held on to my old parts from the filthy old intake (my truck does have 150,000 miles) just in case I need them in the future. The Banks air intake kit had all the clamps that I needed, so the new air flow was nice and tight. From the looks of how it fit near the rest of my engine parts, it looked like air flow would be more free, less restricted, and smoother, but I had to start it up to see the real difference. It sure looks nice under the hood too :)

I started it up with my fingers crossed because I'm not the most tech savvy with their vehicle, but it started out great and I could hear more power out of the tone of accelerating my gas pedal right away. The RPM's had a good boost to them. I took my test drive down my neighborhood street and onto the 5 freeway, roadways that I drive on a daily basis. I couldn't get over the tone and kept on wanting to smash the gas pedal down. I was able to get to 5th quicker and it run at top speed level on the freeway a bit more freely, not a huge difference by any means, but noticeable improvement. I measured the MPG for this drive before the intake and after performing the test, I was averaging a 1.5% on MPG. Not huge, but great to see because along with the improved power feeling, my engine was doing its job easier because of the improved air flow.

The next step was to remove the intake and put on the original one...wasn't too tough because I had just swapped it out earlier. I installed the Banks Monster Exhaust with 2 buddies of mine, it took several hours on a saturday. I would recommend doing the intake first in a test like this because they are easier to swap in and out when compared to an exhaust system, for sure.

So the exhaust individually was tested and the tone was exactly what I wanted. It almost had a diesel throaty tone, coming out of my Tacoma! Finally sounds like I wish it would when I was in high school. It also felt smooth at top speeds and went through each gear with ease.

The final test consisted of both mods at the same time. My intuition was correct on this one. For the overall feel, tone, RPM ticker, MPG boost of 3.3, I truly believe that you receive more returns by paring up two mods like an intake and exhaust upgrade. It does cost money and they don't come for free, but if your driving experience and appearance are important to you, I would recommend looking into pairing mods together instead of going for individuals.

Catalytic Converters and Your Vehicle's Emission System

Catalytic Converters and Your Vehicle's Emission System

Before 1975 no U.S. vehicle came equipped with a catalytic converter. Changes in environmental policy -- started with the formation of the Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] by the Nixon Administration - soon changed all of that.

Now, with very few exceptions, all vehicles must come outfitted with a catalytic converter. So, what does it do exactly? Good question...we will answer that query in this article.

When your engine burns fuel it produces gases that are harmful to the environment. If not handled properly, these same gases will exit through your vehicle's exhaust and work to do harm on the environment. The EPA, which was established in 1970, mandated that starting in 1975 vehicles were to come equipped with an apparatus to reduce dangerous emissions. The particular piece of equipment created to accomplish this task was the catalytic converter.

The catalytic converter in your vehicle is installed in the exhaust line between the exhaust manifold and the muffler. Pellets inside the converter work to transform detrimental gases into harmless gases before they exit the tailpipe and go out into the open air. As you might guess, a properly functioning catalytic converter is essential toward preserving air quality standards.

There are four telltale signs that indicate a catalytic converter will soon fail:

· Rusted or broken converter body or end tubes.

· Bits of substrate in other sections of the exhaust system.

· No rattle detected in a pellitized converter (If the converter doesn't rattle, the pellets may have melted together or fallen out).

· A rattle detected in a monolithic converter (A rattle in this kind of converter indicates the substrate has separated.)

If you see evidence of any of these signs, then you must replace your catalytic converter right away. If you don't, you risk receiving a ticket from a police officer and you may automatically fail your next motor vehicle inspection.

You can install a new catalytic converter yourself and save money on parts and labor. Shop online for the best deals going.

On-Board Brake Stroke Monitoring System

On-Board Brake Stroke Monitoring System

On-board brake stroke monitoring systems have been developed to communicate air braking issues in real time with the drivers, inspectors, or mechanical personnel. These systems are designed to inform the vehicle operator of a number of different issues that could potentially happen with an air braking system.

The most common braking system issues are due to over stroking, non-releasing, or inoperative pushrod travel issues. When these issues arise the truck brakes can either work at a lower than the necessary levels or become completely inoperable.

By installing an on-board stroke monitoring system driver will be alerted to these potential issues in real time as they happen. The cab of the truck will have a driver interface installed that is designed to light up LED lights when potential braking issues are discovered.

Since drivers are often unaware of existing brake defects and reduced braking capability, brake monitoring systems provide valuable information to let the driver know when brakes are out of adjustment or not working properly so that corrective measures can be taken to maintain the vehicle's safe operation.

The on-board brake stroke monitoring system is able to alert the driver to multiple safety issues regarding the braking system. Drivers could be alerted to worn, seized, or out of adjustment manual and automatic slack adjusters, slack adjusters that have not been installed properly, pushrods that have been cut too short, ruptured actuator diaphragms or leaking airlines, plugged or crimped airlines, frozen or stuck air valves, cracked or broken brake drums, brakes shoes that may be "hung-up" due to other faults in the foundation brake system or slack adjuster faults, push rods that have not retracted due to components binding, broken parking brake springs, and worn S-cams.

Ferrari 458 Fabspeed Motorsport Performance Exhaust System

Ferrari 458 Fabspeed Motorsport Performance Exhaust System On YouTube.

Fabspeed Motorsport just finalized the exhaust and ECU performance products for the new Ferrari 458 Italia. In stock form the 458 put down 450HP/316 ft-lbs of torque to the wheels. First order of business was to build an efficient manifold which is a direct replacement for the OEM units. Fabspeed designed a header which had larger diameter primaries (1.75"/44mm compared to 1.5"/38mm) and feature a high-velocity 4-into-1 investment cast merge collector. The Fabspeed sport headers save 13lbs/5.9kg over the factory units, and improve power +34HP/38 ft-lbs of torque to the wheels @ 5900RPM. Fabspeed Sport Headers are a direct replacement for the OEM units, and can be utilized with the OEM catalytic converters or Fabspeed 200 cell Sportcats. Fabspeed's 200 cell, German imported high-flow tri-metallic sport race catalytic converters improve power by +24HP/20 ft-lbs of torque to the wheels and are a direct replacement for the OEM units. The stock catalytic converters are a 750 CPSI, while Fabspeed utilizes 200 cell OBD2 Euro level 5 catalytic converters to improve power, sound, while keeping the Check Engine Light off. These also save 11lbs/5kg compared to the stock catalytic converters. Again these are a direct replacement and can be utilized with the stock manifolds/stock muffler or Fabspeed's sport headers and Maxflo Muffler system. We designed our Maxflo mufflers as a direct replacement for the large OEM mufflers with factory valves. This 2.75"/70mm system improves on ...

Exhaust Systems For The Hobbyist

Exhaust Systems For The Hobbyist

There are exhaust systems and then there are exhaust systems. Your vehicle's exhaust system does everything that it needs to do to keep your car performing properly as well as to protect the environment safe from harmful pollutants. When it is working properly, that is. Not every owner is satisfied with stock exhaust systems, particularly the hobbyist or recreationalist who uses his or her vehicle for leisurely pursuits. If you are a hobbyist and you want a system that performs well beyond what a stock exhaust system has to offer, then please read on for some important information.

So, what is your sound preference? Say, what?! Yes, one of the attributes of a high quality performance exhaust system is finding one that brings out the sound that you want it to make. Generally, there are three types of exhaust systems sounds you can choose from. Gibson Exhaust, a popular manufacturer of performance exhaust systems breaks it down as follows:

High: Produces a sound of high volume and intensity. Expect resonance with the cab.

Moderate: "Big Block" powerful exhaust tone with minimal resonance inside of the cab.

Low: Produces a mellow tone while it maintains a stock sound within the cabin.

Are you not sure which type of system that you want? Then, simply stop by the Gibson Exhaust site for sample sounds of the exhaust system for your truck or SUV.

Beyond sound, there are several other characteristics of any performance exhaust system that should be noted. They include:

More power. Stock mufflers can restrict engine power by as much as one third. With a properly specified and fitted performance muffler in place, air flow restriction can be reduced significantly. The result will be borne out every time you pull something or when you climb a hill as torque is freed up to bring out additional power.

Improved fuel economy. An efficiently working engine burns less fuel. With a performance exhaust system in place, your engine has a friend and not a foe that works in conjunction with the engine to achieve higher fuel mileage.

Longer lasting. What good is paying extra money for a performance exhaust system if it doesn't last longer? Made from aircraft quality stainless steel, your performance exhaust system can easily outlast the life of your vehicle. Depending on the manufacturer you choose, warranties as long as one million miles can assure that the exhaust system you place on your vehicle not only avoids corrosion but is also the last one it will ever need.

Certainly, performance exhaust systems can cost a lot more than stock systems. For the hobbyist who enjoys the throatier sound, stronger torque, and improved fuel economy, a performance exhaust system makes perfect sense.
