Question

[peter]

My question is about pipes I have fmf fattys on my shee now and im thinking about t5s but im curious how are they on the low end compared to fattys.

[tecateboy]

well im not 100% on how they compare, but iv heard the T5's are the best all around pipe you can get for the shee.

Toomeys are the best there is for all around power. get the T6's for a stock engine or just a filter and boost bottle or other small mod, or the T5's for a modified engine. the T6's add a claimed 16 horsepower to a stock banshee, and the T5's add a claimed 10 to a stocker.

I bought the T5s instead of the T6s because I figured if I decide to port the cylnders, I wont have to swap pipes to get the most out of the portwork and I dont doubt the T6s add 16 horsepower to a stock banshee because those pipes are disigned to work in conjunction with stock port timing. Where as the T5s are an upgrade of their first pipe design . But I dont think id use any other brand than toomey for the banshee because I mean they've been making pipes for the banshee since day one when yamaha asked toomey to build an exhaust for the banshee for the 1986 baja 1000!
