yamahaman244 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 hey guys my banshee i just got a week ago has t6 pipes sounds awsome and pulls pretty hard i am wondering are the t6 pipes a good pipe or is the t5 a better pipe and will it pull harder thanks for the help and what is the differance between the two Quote
T_Shee Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 i have heard t6 arent as good for ported engines as t5. i dont know if i really believe this or not tho. i had some t5s and liked them really well. toomey says on there site that the t6's make more power but that may be boecause they get an extra 100 bucks out of them lol. good luck Quote

Thats the law! Quote
firebanshee Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 T-6s suck ass compared to T-5s.T-5s work great on ported and non ported motors,if you are looking for a mid to topend pipe.T-6s don't work on ported motors,just buy T-5s and be done with it. Quote
yamahaman244 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Posted June 3, 2010 Allright thank you my bike has t6. On it now they pull hard top end heard people saying though that the t5. Were way better and pulled way harder Well I'm just wondering if t5 are really that much better then. T6 Quote
T_Shee Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 id listen to firebanshee. im sure you could trade them straight up for t5 with no prob Quote
yamahaman244 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Posted June 3, 2010 Well I'm just wondering if t5 are really that much better then. T6 Well that's what I'm saying but my banshee came wirhthese Quote
Fullthrottle02 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 My bike came with T6's the same as you. I had a clean up port with a new top end and the T6's came on a hair sooner and pulled harder than the T5's i went to. Quote

AKheathen Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 t-6's make more power and have a wider powerband on stock motors, because they are designed for peak efficiency at lower flow rates. you can even port the motor to match the 6's. the t-5's are designed for mid-top pull and peak efficiency at much higher flow rates, such as you get from mid-top ported motors, and strokers. it all depends on how far you are going to go on your build, but right now, the 6's will work better.

Erwin8r Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 allright akheathen so as for my motor now i proby wont do much more modding for awhile so the t6 right now will be fine??? you said they have a wider powerband does that mean longer? and what do you mean by they are designed for peak efficency at lower flow rates what do you mean? thanks for the help I'd say if you're happy with your motor, and your bike is pulling hard, AND you have no big mods in store for the near future, LEAVE YOUR PIPES ALONE. Trust me. It's a vicious cycle... First you'll get the T5's... then you'll want to "port just a bit" to match them. BUt then the tuner will tell you to ride his bike. Then its over. You'll be hooked... You'll be looking at aggressive porting, new pistons, a stroker crank, larger carbs, a better clutch, a Cool head... See what I mean? Happy with it? Leave it alone... P.S. ---> I speak from experience... I made the mistake of riding two WildCard bikes... Quote
