87sheerips Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Just a sidenote: my buddy sais that he likes the sound of the CPI pipe better on my bike. To each their own, and I cant hear them the same when I am behind the bars. Both are a great pipe nontheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each their own, and I cant hear them the same when I am behind the bars. Both are a great pipe nontheless I just installed my snipers and have the stainless steel packing in the silencers and have to say they are much louder than my CPI's. I have not rode them yet, so don't have an accurate comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim sent me some with fiberglass packing by mistake, so I shipped them back and he packed them with stainless steel. So I am very sure they have at least that. Have you spent some time with snipers?

I would still like for him to try a set on his 535 or his little 350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

252wheelieking Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 The snipers are a badass looking pipe. IMO they are the best looking inframe pipe created for the banshee. The header reminds me of some pro circuits transforming into shearers. Just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still like for him to try a set on his 535 or his little 350. yup if i had more $$$$ i'd have a set ont he wife's bike. its just at 700+ then have to have them show chromed at 250+ its a hard chunk of change to cough up. thats the only reason i dont have a set on it right now.

guns4children Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Ill take some snipers if anyone is giving them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko2000 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 These pipes fit like a glove- finally got them mounted! Pipes are fucking awesome, besides the rust look which is sorta driving me crazy the welds are PERFECT, craftsmanship of these pipes are truly second to none Took the bike for rip around the neighborhood but unfortunately I'm having some shifting problems!! I think the forks are finally calling it quits after 2-3 years! Basically I'm not positive if I'll be able to test them this weekend- rather not risk further tranny damage but we'll see On my personal bikes I've had, pro circuits, T5's, CPI's, R2's,and Shearers, hands down these snipers fit the best without a question But as far as performance I cannot comment on that just yet, although there isn't a doubt in my mind that I'll be falling In love with them Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trick2stroke Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Nothing can transform into shearers except shearers. Or RDZ pipes. What if they fell off the back of a truck and didn't fit right anymore, could they be shearers then? Haha kidding of course, just playing off all the posts I read about the fitment. I agree though, they do remind me of PC's. So the raw finish pipes are over 700 and if you want chrome it's 250 more? Mother of god. I'd be inclined to high temp coat them in black. They make a high temp clear? I like the raw look if not for the added maintenance to prevent rust. They would be even cooler if they were made out of SS.

guns4children Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 John (Nyuk) has raw pipes and they look sweet. I'm sure you could ask him how he keeps his looking so nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
