locogato11283 Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Posted January 20, 2005 t-5's not so sweet if you like a lot of power. 309517[/snapback] haha yea, i dont think theyll be matching the rockets power. Quote
Nighty Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 So my t5's are outdated. Are the rockets a completly better pipe from low end till high end? or are there drawbacks? (gain some lose some) and: Where is the "air/fuel mixture reading" thingy placed during the dynorun? Thanks Quote
wesw Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 Where is the "air/fuel mixture reading" thingy placed during the dynorun? Thanks 309584[/snapback] by the silencer, in the exhaust stream to get a reading. Quote
01bansheeke Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 t-5's aren't really in the same class as cpi's, shearers, rockets..all a no holds barred top end pipe, t-5's aren't really all that. better all around than those pipes imo and definitely easier to ride.. All in what you want. But power wise..apples to oranges..and oranges are sweeter Quote
sanddevil111 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 they are both really good pipes. i just have always preferred the rockets cuz i like how they look better. in this case the rockets out pulled the cpis, but in other engines it could go either way. 308493[/snapback] I agree on that one but honestly I think the cpi pipe overall looks better thats just me...I dont think the little hump on the top of the rockets have quite grown enough on me yet to say otherwise....Kinda looks like the back of a camel...lol thats just me tho but hey the dyno doesnt lie so props on that engine dude...

BigRed350x Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 I saw that same dyno on the rockets web site. Whats the deal? Quote
Nighty Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 Bigred: I saw that same dyno on the rockets web site. Whats the deal? Minkia: Thanks for the nice dyno sheet! It will be on www.rocketpipes.com soon Thanks 01bansheeke a great quote indeed. Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Posted January 21, 2005 I saw that same dyno on the rockets web site. Whats the deal? 309852[/snapback] minkia asked me if he could put it on the rocket website and i said yes... Quote
01bansheeke Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 He didn't ask me if he could put my bike on there...or on ebay..what gives ray???? lol j/k hell i'm happy to have it on there. Quote
Minkia38 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 aww - thanks guys for the info and the pics! I gues I just liked your bikes so much that I used them for my pics of ebay / www.rocketpipes.com that should say something about your bikes since i have over 50 pics of rockets on banshees.....

richybanshee Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 (edited) Going back to the issue of the dyno: Probably the dyno software sucks, but both pipes where tested in the same dyno so there is no difference. What is bad for one set of pipes i s bad for the other. The one thing I would like to see is the whole description of the process taken to test the pipes and the whole specifications of the bike with both pipes, jetting and everything else included so that by looking at the different dyno sheets we can more presicely compare which one is better for the setup you have. Scientist just do not test once and then make conclusions, they do it hundreds of times. SEE YAAA!!!!! What I do not like about Rockets is that changing sparkplugs seems almost impossible if pipes are hot. Edited January 26, 2005 by richybanshee Quote
