D & D pipes

[F7 Possum]

Looking at buying a banshee and it has D&D pipes on it, are they any good? Anyone run them on theirs? I did a search but found nothing sorry if there is topics on this already.

D&D Power.

 

Dyno Port makes there pipes and D&D puts their tag on them

im only a few miles from D&D here in new york. i cant say much about there banshee pipes cuz nobody around here even run them. as far as pipes go tho they make the best snowmobile pipes that money can buy so judging by that i would say they are a decent pipe. go to their website.. ddracing.com. and you can read up a bit on them or call one of their mechanics and they would definately be able to tell you. if you go that route and call them ask for Scott. he is the main guy there and he'll tell you anything you need to know

I have had two different sets of power pros, and hated both sets.

 

I would say that dynoport makes the best sled pipes.

i'm not a huge fan of D&D. the pipes are probably better than stock ,probably along the lines of a DG in power, fit and finish.

like i said, i dont know much about their banshee pipes. they started to get into wheelers more a few years ago but up here the market for snowmobile parts more than triples the wheelers so they lost interest in them. as far as banshee pipes go, im sure they are better than stock as is anything but their mechanics dont even run them on their wheelers so i would take that as a sign that there are much better pipes out there.

I used to be a welder at Dyno port. They make ALL D&D pipes. Anything Arctic cat, is mad for D&D. Dyno port does not sell arctic cat. You are ALWAYS buying a dyno port can, muffler, pipe, when you buy a D&D. Little inside secret I found out when I worked there. I hate the owner so i figure id let the secret slide to my fellow riders.

i used to work at the pipe shop at D&D and i know from working there that they aren't putting someone else's pipes on their machines. they fabricate all their pipes for every machine right from scratch and send their design out to get all duplicates made. the shells come back to them shop in halves and they hafta be tacked and welded together and they do all the finishing for their pipes right in house. they are not using anyone elses design or materials.

All i know is when i was welding pipes there.... You have Dynoport tags in one bin and D&D Power in the other. After they were welded they either got a D&D or Dynoport tag and went to the paint booth.

maybe they used to do things different but as of a few years ago thats how they did it. the main welder and mechanic would bring in each new sled individually and design single and twin pipes for them out of the leftover scraps from junk pipes and then they would send the pipes to a company in cali. (not sure what the company was called) and they would mold boxes full of shells and send them back to D&D and it was basically just an assembly line from there. one person would tack the halves together, the next would tig them, and then they had a seperate booth for finishing whether it was painting and baking them or nickel plating.
