mikesampley Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 Just looking to get you guy's opinions, whats a better pipe? I love my T5's, but I have a dude wanting to trade me CPI's for mine. Any info is appreciated guys, thanks! Quote
chevota84 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 Cpi's will make more power but it's hard to beat t5's for all around power on a stock ish bike. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote
mikesampley Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Posted May 17, 2014 Pickin them bitches up sunday, Always loved my T5's but LOVE the sound of CPI's rippin. Quote
sheerider11 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 TRADE. CPI are actually a great pipe for a lot of types of riding. There becoming the go to pipe for a lot of builds. Even if you're stock. I'm pretty sure that won't stay like that for long. You'll have a proven pipe that works with A LOT of combos. Quote

Exactly. You will upgrade down the road and the pipes are def worth the trade if they are in good shape. When you get a different setup you will have a good chunk of it already. I rode a stock bike with small bore cpi before Quote
Strm Trpr Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 Right on OP. What mods do you have on your bike? sheerider11, would CPI's be a good match for a 4mil stk cyl play port, or should I just step up to a 421 Serval? pump gas dunes play mx xc trails desert riding Quote

And I ride everywhere. I've debated serval or not. But I'm really content with my set up now. I've talked to 3 different builders about a serval. And it seems I'll actually be in about the same boat as I am now. So I think it'll be preference at that point. Quote
Strm Trpr Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 anything special done to your stk cyls? who ported them, and what type of port is it? you ever dyno your 4mil to see the power curve? Quote
mikesampley Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Posted May 17, 2014 I am having Arlan port and bore my cylinders a little, Some carb work, and weld and true my stock crank, and case match the cylinders. Other than that, Im not going to do much to it........ said every banshee rider ever. I dont need 100hp, she's a turd, but shes pretty! LOL Quote

Ported by sleeper06 on here. Pump gas. I guess you could call it a dune port. He gave me the timings on them and there pretty aggressive. But I still have loads of bottom end. 35 pwk vf2 CPI and pods. Quote
2004LEBanshee Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 Had a stock cylinder 4 mill. 4 mill serval ect with both cpi and shearers.all from a top builder on here. Youll want shearers over the cpis. Trade the t5s then sell on here for shearers. Imo Quote
Banshee Chad Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 CPI on pretty stock bike and I love em. Have had for a few yrs now. Timing, filter, reeds is all.. Quote
Buffalo-Banshee Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 I'll trade him if he wants, I have t-5s and need bigger pipes for my 4mill serval! Quote
