So Cal Suspension Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 Ok so now were back to the fitment issue seems funny it's the same few guys always bitching?? Mine were a new set they fit perfect and there are 4-5 guys I ride with that have them they all said they fit great hmmm? I just used the stock hangers, and never had a single issue. Maybe someone should start a Poll thread. That should get some shit stirred up... Quote
shanYE west Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 Ok so now were back to the fitment issue seems funny it's the same few guys always bitching?? Mine were a new set they fit perfect and there are 4-5 guys I ride with that have them they all said they fit great hmmm? Yah, it must be a figment of my imagination. Just look through the for sale section. A lot has been repaired, welded on or damaged in some way from poor fitment and quality. Its not just a "few" people. I've personally bought 4 new sets of pipes and one used set..(got pics of all of them) All but one had issues and there are 5-10 guys that I ride with that have had issues.. Funny its the same few guys preaching perfect fit.. I think your in the minority on this issue. Not much more I can add to this thread without being repetitive . So i'm done. If you wish to discuss more about the issues I and others have had. Feel free to catch me in the shout box. Quote
lms1977 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 Well I've only had or seen 3 pipes crack a dyno port a t5 and a CPI , wonder how many of these pipes had solid mounts on them? If the engine moves the pipes have to as well Quote
PassionRE Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 i took it as he was being sarcastic. 100 low lead aviation fuel is def not the same as 110vp, sonoco etc. octane is octane Aviation fuel is rated differently than automotive fuel in some regards. Im no chemist ,but 100LL will give more detonation protection than automotive 100 octane. Aviation 100LL has a lean mixture octane rating along with a rich mixture octane rating. Not sure what its limits are in reality, but Ive exceeded 10.5 trapped CR in watercraft engines without detonation on 100LL....Jim Quote

ban421shee Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 People are choosing Sniper over Shearer, paying a hundred more dollars for them and are happy, that says it all. Quote

Just trying to get a comparison? I love the shit! Quote
SonOfSand Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 Yeah your right it is funny. Yes... and some were calling for the deletion... between you vs Loco, Windy vs Dajoger, and the well stated words of PassionRE I am thoroughly entertained and learning as well. Quote
10milmike Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Posted July 29, 2012 Hahahaha Shearers vs Sniper threads are comedy! Keep up the good work fellas. Crazy had a legit question. And 800 pages later of crazy nonsense. Funny shit. Quote
SandmanPNW Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 Yes... and some were calling for the deletion... Yep, that was me. Delete it Quote

The 100LL AV fuel actually has a higher Octane rating than it appears if it was rated the same as auto fuel. Lead is one of the better detonation preventers out there. Tim Bond over at Titan racing says you can go from 100LL to vp110 and can do it with just air screw adjustments. (Basically domes designed for VP110 with work the same with 100LL) He also says that motors that run on the 100LL end up running cleaner and have better lube from the lead. (The older cars ran leaded and it helped lube the valves and valve seats.) I'd run the 100LL myself except here in Illinois they treat AV fuel like a controlled substance. You try to buy 5 gallons and they just about pit you on a National terrorist list. So I wasn't kidding. Mailman was running 100LL and it should be just like numbers and performance you would see from VP 110. 108 at the worst. Quote

Dave, 10.5 trapped CR is 230psi at sea level ...remember this was specialty watercraft stuff...totally different element than the Banshee world...this trapped CR is not reccomended on a Banshee....Jim Quote
ban421shee Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 Yep, that was me. Delete it Every thread that has posts from people with Sniper pipes that say they are better than Shearer have been deleted, because people that do not have them keep turning it into a fight, that is the exact reason there is not much information on Sniper pipes and some people continue to buy pipes with less quality and less performance.
