SonOfSand Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 I went from t'5s to CPIs on my stock cylinder 4 mil... cant say I noticed a dramatic difference. When I went from CPIs to snipers on my cub I noticed a more noticeable gain. My CPIs did not fit well... had to space them up front and the pods would burn on both sides. I have never mounted shearers. So far snipers are my favorite. Quote
SonOfSand Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 Don't you have to trim your plastic with CPI ? Shearer no trimming. I had stock fenders at the time and had to cut them when i mounted the CPIs. Quote
Nightmare Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 CPIs are where its at! What happened to "SHEARER FTW" lol Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Colby Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 Don't you have to trim your plastic with CPI ? Shearer no trimming. CPI and FMF are the only pipes ive never not had to modify anything to get them to fit.. Quote
Wildcardracing Posted October 4, 2012 Report Posted October 4, 2012 CPI and FMF are the only pipes ive never not had to modify anything to get them to fit.. In my experience, CPI are either going to slip right on or be the worst nightmare in the world to fit. One or the other with them, no "they fit ok". I like how they perform and prefer them to shearers on some setups. I am a dealer for both and have a great deal of experience with both. 99.9% of the shearers I've used have fit quite well for a large inframe drag pipe. In my opinion Shearer makes a very good product, debatably the pipes all other drag pipes are judged by. Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted October 4, 2012 Report Posted October 4, 2012 AWESOME! Another shearer vs _________ thread! I'm all in! Also, Buy Shearers, and be done with it. Best pipe on the market, hands down. Quote
thomas h. Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 If you close to shearers shop in so cal he will make them for you bike no extra cost and he installs them too. Quote
SandmanPNW Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 What happened to "SHEARER FTW" lol Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 What happened to it???? Wasn't an option.But if I must....... SHEARER FTW! Quote
SandmanPNW Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 If you close to shearers shop in so cal he will make them for you bike no extra cost and he installs them too. always good to let a pro install. Especially since half these fools seem to have issues. Quote
Josh Z Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 Get your cylinders set up for a certain pipe and run it... call a reputable builder (a damn good one has already commented in your thread... TWICE) and have him set up a motor JUST for what you NEED!!!! Quote
erock1911 Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Posted October 5, 2012 just took the carbs and reeds out come to find there has been no porting done, looks like someone removed a few burs, u still think goin from pc to CPIor SHEARER would be a noticible difference? Quote
Wildcardracing Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 On a stock, unported engine the CPI's and Shearers will both be somewhat undesireable. They will both run fine but you'll suffer a loss of low end tq and see little gain up top compared to your pro-circuits. PC's are a great pipe, debateably one of the best broad midrange pipes on the market. In my opinion Shearers, then CPI's are the best top end pipes on the market. Keep your PC's, forget about T-5's. Save your money towards building and engine that does what you want and let your engine builder of choice help you pick out your supporting mods. -Brandon Quote
