Anyone Have Experience With Banks Torque Tube Exhaust Header On YJ?
Has anyone here had any experience with Gale Banks' TorqueTube exhaust
manifolds on their YJs? I had one installed on my '93 YJ with 4.0L 35K
miles ago, and this week, while going through the local KFC
drive-through at lunch, I noticed that the exhaust noise was louder than
normal. The engine had only been running about three minutes. Turns
out I've got a crack at the collector. This manifold lasted me less
than any Mopar that I've had on my YJ, XJ, or ZJ. Fortunately, the
warranty is lifetime, so Banks is shipping me another part this week.
I'm still out the shipping and installation charges. I hope that I
don't have to do this every 35K to 40K miles. Any comments?
Regards,

Hmm.. I've got one on my ZJ that's been making a bit of noise.
Might have to get under there and check for cracks. sure hope not. :/
