Reviews for Banks Power 51306 TorqueTubes Exhaust Manifold for 00-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ, TJ Unlimited, Grand Cherokee WJ & Cherokee XJ with 4.0L
I really like the looks of this header. Beefy and strong. I would have rated this header a 5 star if I had been able to actually install this header. Following the instructions and using the tools listed in the instructions, It is impossible to put a wrench on the bottom two bolts, much less torque them to the proper setting. In the picture you can see one of the bolts without the intake manifold installed. the bolt is directly behind the pipe. You cannot put a socket on this bolt! My Jeep is a 2003. Maybe it is different from other years. I tried for two days to make this header work. No Joy! It took me 1 hour to reinstall the original headers. No problem. I will just keep them. They were in great shape with no indication of cracking. Bu the way, I am a trained aircraft mechanic.
Big pain in the butt. Cost more then it is worth for install as it stand rate now it has cost me 580. Engine still does not run right. I like Banks produces,just not this one.
