Hilarious Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 with your mods in your sig you should see a bit more midrange and top end. those are both great pipes. i actually prefered the shearers over the cpis when i had my dune ported engine.

Im a CPI fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeRider71 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I have CPI inframes and they are good but even better have a wicked mid range an top-end, an in your case you plan on alot of motor mods so CPI's would be perfect, they respond well to mods, T-6's are a good all around pipe an mainly aimed towards stock motors IMO.

studroes Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 your mods are about identical to mine and im runnin shearers and love them!! well worth the money. the mid-range is decent but once they get to the topend they just keep pulling with tons of power!

bansheeqc Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 T6 pipe are not the best pipe ever made...For your type of riding and your mods, i think CPI pipe are best compare to shearer pipe (more mid then shearer, and decent top end). You may check at rocket pipe and T5 pipe also. bansheeqc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbanshee8 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 The Shearer pipes are more of a top-end pipe, suited more for drag racing. The CPI pipes are a drag pipe also, but are better suited for all around duning, and dragging. I'm running CPIs, and I even trail ride with them with no problems. Personally, I think you would be better off, getting the CPIs. Just my .02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shee4speed Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I can dune,putt,drag. Shearers work well all around.People say with these pipes you cant trail or dune,Thats B.S. I never tried CPI's.Either way I think you will be happier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screamin_banshee_2003 Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) thanx guyz for the replies. I have stole a sit of used shearer show chrome for 310 $$ from ebay Waiting for the seller to ship it Can't wait to recieve it and try them Edited January 15, 2009 by screamin_banshee_2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachass9 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I have ran cpi's and shearer both on my 421 and love the shearer pipes. I dune drag and trail ride, and I have had no problems at all. This may be due to the powervalve set up!! My buddy rides a stock stroke cub and his bike is one of the most rideable fastest bikes I have ever ridden!! Pretty much a personal preference, but I definately think that shearer pipes pull harder and longer up top!! I have never really witnessed all the negative sides of the shearers that people talk about!! Maybe just the way I ride, but I will put shearers on every bike I build!! Just my 2 cents!!!

blaster2006 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 those CPI pipes look SICK... my top choice would be CPI's tbh. i have never tried either one, but by just looking at how fat the expansion chambers on the CPI's are, it looks like it is reallly a TOP end pipe. i read abit on how pipes work etc, and its usually the bigger and fatter the expansion chamber the more top end it has. the more narrow and curveyer they are the more bottom end it has, meaning something like a T-6 ( notice the big curve just before it connects to the stinger pipe. may sound stupid but just what i heard along time ago hehe. i personally would not pay more money to get different aftermarket pipes. the difference is from stock to aftermarket, from one aftermarket to another isnt that great of a diff but since you claimed you already got them, tell us , how are they?
