Ultimateduner Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 I bought a stock banshee and I was wondering what is the best pipe for a banshee for going to the dunes. ( if you chose other tell me what pipe it is and why) Quote
Badbanshee_boy Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 Stock all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! J/p i didnt know big gun made a pipe for the banshee, i have never ridden dunes but i would go with toomeys if your stock Quote
Indubitably Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 Toomeys seem to be very popular, I run them and i really like them but i haven't really ridden any other pipes but fmf's. If you are going to one day port the bike i would go with cpi or some other inframe pipe. Just my opinion. Quote
bashee crazy kidd Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 toomey's are real good they have a lot of top end hp gains not much down low. but that should do u good for sum dunes..but the fmf will give u lil more bottom end but for dunes go for the toomeys i am gonna buy them for my shee soon Quote
richwuest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 FMF fattys and no complaints here, but I have heard several others say that the CPI inframes work realy well. I had a set of Toomey T5s, and they were good, but I preferred the FMFs. Quote
TheNewGuy Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 i had pro circuits for my banshees first year of it's life... i only ride dunes here in oregon, my pro circuits did everything i wanted and more (cept go up banshee hill but that was because i had shitty Kenda Trakkers...another story)...they had plenty of of power all around and very managable (spelling) i have t5's now...i like the top end pipes the most...if you're a beginner or kinda hesitant to the bikes speed, go for a mid range pipe because you'll be more apt to play in the middle gears.... if you go balls to the walls ( like any banshee owner should ) go for the t5's or a top end pipe... and yes CPI inframes are hella nice (just no low end) hope this helps Mike Quote
Chemical Castration Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 It really depends what you wanna do out there in the dunes (playride, flat drags, hillshooting or all of the above) But personally i think the better "all around" pipes would be FMF's Toomeys and maybe CPI's I used to own a set of FMF's and they hauled ass, they gave me power whenever I needed them to And they would haul ass when I would hillshoot as well. But if you wanna go for a more drag oriented engine then I would suggest going with CPI's or another inframe drag pipe. Quote
Chemical Castration Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 chrome ones Yeah that too! Quote
bashee crazy kidd Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 the t6 is even better than the t5 atthis site they have a comparison chart....just click that pic of the t6 pipe on the banshee on the first page then when it loads to a new page(bunch of writing) scroll down u will see four comparisn charts but the one between the t5 vs. thet6 might not be there i might have seen it at a diff. site but u will find those charts usefull Quote
bashee crazy kidd Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 oh sorry, it's not there but they have the t6 up against some other real popular pipes.. Quote
bignasty1 Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 i think rockets would be good if your lookin for a pipe with a damn good amount of top and a decent bottom and mid range. they are like cpi's but with some more low end to them. talk to minkia38 if your interested he's where i got mine i recomend him.

ledofthezep Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 Figured I'll put in my $.02... I switched from T5's to PC's & haven't regretted it since. I mostly ride dunes also. T5's are a great pipe-don't get me wrong, put for my riding style & overall performance I'm happy with my PC's. Quote
b_a_n_s_h_e_e Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 Not to add to the Pro Circuit fame , but I have tried FMF, Toomey T5's, and Pro Circuits. Of the three I like the Pro Circuits for the best *duning* pipe. I think they have better bottom to mid than toomeys and still pull from them on the top. But the FMFs have the best bottom to mid...

Justintoxicated Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 Looking at Dyno charts between FMF and toomy I can see Toomy's have more top, but FMF's make more power than toomys everywhere throughout the powerband except for a little bit on top. So for me I like FMF's since im constantly speeding up around the big bowls and slowing down a little for the transition from one dune to another. For hill shooting the FMF's will pull out first (assuming both atv's are identical in every other aspect and properly jetted equal rideser etc) But after you hit your max speed the Toomys will be behind you slowly gaining on ya...or thats how it should work compairing dyno tests to he T5's Vs Fattys. Im not sure how the SST and T6's compair but I hear fattys will be better than SST's if you decide to someday get porting again acording to dynos. However CPI's are better than both when ported.
