What do you guys think is the beter exhaust.I have a 2000 Banshee with T5s.My dad just picked up a 1999 with DMC 916.I really like the sound of his exhaust,which makes more hp?I may trade him exhaust, just wondering what you guys think?

Well, since you have access to the bike in which the pipes are currently on, take it for a ride. Take note of the power delivery, how hard (or weak) it pulls, its behavior under the pipe, overrev, ect... because what one guy likes to ride might be another guys worst nightmare. I wouldn't want a lightswitch powerband on the trail or in tight technical tracks. If the area is wide open, however, I would be willing to sacrifice the low revs for more top end pull.

50% will say T5. 50% will say 916's

 

Both good pipes.

 

Can go wrong ether way!

 

But Sound, does NOT = faster or more power.

X2. Great way to put that dude. Couldnt have said it better. In my opinion T5's dude. Cant go wrong with them.

i had both pipes the t5 were better hands down but. if you are going for sound and good looks and low end grunt mabe the 916 are what you are looking for

imo, whoever is gonna port first should get the t-5's, lol. but seriously, they are verry similar pipes in many ways, just the rpm's are shifted a little from one to the other, and i think the t-5's were more lightswitch on a sock motor. x3 on trying them both out, make sure they are both jetted right first, and pay attention on how nice the ride is, not the sound....oh, and make sure the silencers are packed and not plugged up or burned out.
