I have a set of FMF SSTs on my Banshee. Top of the line, most expensive pipes FMF makes.
The god damn piece of trash pipe coupling is worthless and has since destroyed itself. The clamps on it are broken and maxed out to the point of uselessness. I would buy a nice aftermarket one but the connection has been put right behind a gusset in the frame. Allowing for little or no room for anything. Nor the ability to show off some aluminum. I barely was able to use pipe clamps to cinch down the lastest coupling i have on.
The connection, being where it is, makes exhaust blow right onto the air filters if a leak occurs (often and easily). Any sort of hardware easily start rubbing onto the filters due to this sweet location.
Toomey pipes have the connection well in front of the air filter and in the open for easy maintenance and clamp install, tightening, etc.
Toomey silencers have 1 bolt for the silencer with 1 small rubber gromit. FMF has 2 places places to be bolted. Not to mention, FMF silencers are twice the size as Toomeys.
Greasing the inner, lower A-arm is almost impossible due to the pipe being in the way. Toomey allows ample room.
I'll save some cash and heartache next time I buy pipes. Who are the R&D geniuses at FMF?
Oh yeah. Even those cheese dick stickers melt/shrink on the silencers.
