Personally I'm all about a good pair of FMF Fatty pipes with PowerCore2 silencers. I don't like the way the Toomey's sound or feel and there are plenty of dyno's out there that prove the TR-6's only give you power if that's the ONLY thing you do to your banshee. Adding any other performance mods usually REDUCES your power.

I rode a 2004 Ltd Banshee with T-5's on it and it felt like there was no power to it. I'm used to the FMF's screaming and the powerband being abrupt and violent. It just wasn't that way on that banshee.

Port and polish it, pipe it, change that timing 4 degrees, put some bigger carbS on it, and look into a-arms, durablue axle, and suspension.

Personally, if I didn't already have mine worked up I'd be perfectly happy with the FMF pipes, ProDesigns Pro flow airfilter adapter (the stock one sucks, we all know that), a +4 axle, +2+1 a-arms, and some sweet suspension.

Don't take my revolt against Toomey's as an insult. It's just my opinion from my experiences with them. I'm sure there's people out there with views completely contradicting mine.
