pipes dont sound normal

[tommy346]

my bike has a set of toomey t-5 pipes on it and compared to other people that have them my bike is a lot quieter than theirs. it still runs very hard but just doesnt have that distinct toomey sound. any ideas??

 

also packing is new, has fresh rebuild with 145psi both sides, ported, and milled head.

packing will quieten it down. There's is prob in need of packing

well i have listened to a lot of banshee's on youtube and where we ride and mine sounds nothing like them at all. not even one with good packing. would raising the exhaust ports make a difference in how a bike sounds?

I dont think I would be worried about this.......at all!

man you cant shop pipes on you tube you have to go listen to the bike in person!!

now think of it like this you know the famous auto glass pack right you get it hot and then sray water on it then few days it will sound like it should well ill speak for my self the pipes have to get broke in from new packing thats my thinking thou hey if you wanna go sell them ill be first up??

Its no big deal dude. My t5s sounds more throaty after i had it ported. its noticable to the ear but perfomance is still great and what matters. :thumbsup:

I have some t5 cans that I will sell that will def be louder.

i was just curious as to why, but im not worried at all. but it does have a throaty sound to it like alf was saying. also is it common for the pipe hanger brackets on toomeys to break?
