banshee67 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 i have a set of toomey t6 pipe and was wondering what happens to them once the engine becomes too modded for them? thinking of doing head work along with minor exhaust porting. any ideas?

lykins89shee Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 They will be fine. You may not gain as much as you would with other pipes,but you wont notice if you never switch pipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee67 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 They will be fine. You may not gain as much as you would with other pipes,but you wont notice if you never switch pipes so say if i did a major port job and heads. they would still work and i would still notice the power change?

lykins89shee Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Yes you would notice a performance difference. I would call toomey and tell them what work you want to do and see what they say. I always hear T5 is better for engine mods but I'm sure toomey could tell you why that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKheathen Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 lol, the t-6's are abit mis-understood........ok, they may not work well with a std mid-top dune port, but that is because that is not what kind of pipe they are.....they are a "wide band" pipe, that increases efficiency with near stock flow, but you will see plenty gains porting to the pipe on stock stroke, and pushing it with 4mill, but they will hang.....heads, reads and i would stay 30mm-under on the carbs, but 33's will work...sounds like you already have a good plan, so go to town on what you want, and everything will be fine, just remember what kind of pipe it is when it comes to porting.......it won't like "drag" port too much, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
