4.0L 6-CYL:
1991-05 WRANGLER, 1991-01 CHEROKEE, '93-01 GRAND CHEROKEE, 1991-92 COMMANCHE: Banks TorqueTubes is a streamlined exhaust manifold designed to optimize exhaust flow and engine efficiency. Because the stock manifold's flange does not align squarely with the ports, flow is restricted. TorqueTube corrects the problem with a half-inch flange that is machined dead flat, and precisely fitted to the port pattern. You can hear the difference in the plusher, healthier exhaust note.
Unlike the stock, failure-prone exhaust manifold, Banks TorqueTube is built of heavy, 409 stainless steel to weather a lifetime of heat, stress and abuse. The flange, welded to the tube assembly on both sides, will never crack or separate. The gasket is made of SMI 900, a material that stands up to super-hot temperatures.

Bolts right on. Optional head pipe available for the best flow.

2.5L 4-CYL
1991-02 WRANGLER: The Banks TorqueTubes assembly for the 2.5L Wrangler provides nearly identical engineering innovations and benefits as the TorqueTubes for the 4.0L 6-cylinder Jeeps: bulletproof construction … precision fit of the dead-flat half-inch flange to the port pattern … imperviousness of the flange to cracking and separating … and the easy, bolt-on design. Includes an extra-thick gasket (not shown) that stands up to super-hot temperatures.

Price: $400.00
Pros: Good sound with Banks Exhaust Minor Power Improvement
Cons: Mechanic said required intake manifold modifications to install. Called their tech support, they said this ways typical.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Beautiful header. I had my mechanic install it and he said that it wouldn't fit without modifying the intake manifold on my '98 TJ 4.0. After some cutting he got it on and it sounds fantastic coupled with the Banks Exhaust and Intake. Pricey, but it does add a few ponies and a very "tuned" sound to the exhaust.

Comments: By increasing exhaust flow, Torque Tubes optimize the torque curve of the popular 4.0L Wrangler engine. Power & efficiency improve, along with the exhaust note

Pros: Great sound and pedal feel!
Cons: Installation is tricky!
Recommended? Yes

Comments: You have to destroy some of your tools to get the headers on but they replace the stock (crack prone) manifold. Banks also has a lifetime warranty on the headers as well.

Banks Torque Tubes Exhaust Manifold
Pros: good sound
Cons: horrible customer svc.
Recommended? No

Comments: Ive had one on my 97 wrangler for about 7 years and it cracked about a year ago. I contacted banks and even after explaining to them that the jeep was my daily driver they still wanted me to take it off and sent it to them with no replacement for at least 2 weeks befor they would even decide if thet were going to cover it or not. If I had known warranty issues were going to be such a pain I would have just bought a cheaper header and replaced every couple of years!

Recommended? Yes

Comments: I bought The Banks TorqueTubes for tj 2.5L but it does not fit with the
head pipe because the hole of the header is larger than the hole
of the head pipe.
The conical gasket does not fit with the stock head pipe.
Do you know how to solve this problem ?

Pros: Lifetime waranty
Cons: Header cracked after 1 1/2 years.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Great product. Fairly easy to install, came with all necessary parts. Also has liftime warranty. Also noticed slight power increase and deeper exhaust tone.

Comments: This header has a very good sound to it, you can tell from the start that your motor is breathing easier, installation sucked *** but the outcome was well worth it.

Comments: I've had the header for about 8 months. It was a relatively easy install, bolted right up. I never had an issue of the infamous cracking, even though it doesn't have the flexy joints that others do.
