BlasterKX Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 i have a chance to trade for some fmf fattys and was wondering how they are compared to the t6s? which is a better pipe for climbing sand hills and better pull in the mid area? Quote
fastbanshee8 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Are you going to port the cylinders? If you do, the FMFs will work better. The T6s are designed for stock cylinders, and don't respond as well to porting as other pipes do. Quote
BlasterKX Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 il prob get porting done next winter or this summer whenever the top end needs replaced lol. so it would be worth it then? the down pipes arent shinny anymore but i dont care bout that Quote
01banch Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 If you think you want to try something different I'd say do it. The t-6s if ported correctly will work fine my uncle runs a ported 4 mil with t-6's and that think is a friken rocket. Quote
peterlocal22 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 go for it if your looking for a change, you can always sell them and buy another set of fmf's Quote
peterlocal22 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 waite what do you have right now? Quote
98_shee Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 The t6's are probably worth more. You may be better off selling them and buying a set of different pipes. I have a set of pro curcuits for sale or trade. Quote
GrMeyer Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 I love the fattys. they are a great all around pipe. never had tried the t6's but i know the t5s are great pipes that everyone likes. But mine came with fattys. But duning, trail and dragn the hill i have no props with. Quote

It would be best if the person doing the porting knew what pipes you were planning on running, once it was back together. I ran FMFs for years, and never had a problem with them. A lot of people don't give the FMFs their due, because they aren't the best looking pipes, and some say they like the sound of the Toomey's better, but I out ran a bunch of bikes with Toomeys on them, so it's all a matter of personal preferance, and $$$.

05.Banshee.SE Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Toomey > FMF IMO. If anything, go to T5s. Definately port and rebuild at the same time. If you want to do a 4 mil, do 4 mil porting w/ the rebuild. Quote
xsinnerx Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Are you going to port the cylinders? If you do, the FMFs will work better. The T6s are designed for stock cylinders, and don't respond as well to porting as other pipes do. this last summer I saw a guy running stock stroke cubs with stock carbs and t-6 pipes, that bike ran pretty damn hard, he beat my friend who is running redline drag ported stock juggs, 33 pwks, cool head with 18 cc domes about 170lbs compression, advanced timing, my friend was beaten every time they lined up ( about 20 times). seems like the t-6 pipes responded well enough.
