The magazines really talked up the T-6.It's all hype.I bet your lrd's will beat it.The T-5's are better than the T-6.

Contact Toomey for a dyno sheet on the t-6 pipes. On an unported STOCK MOTOR the t-6 kicked the t-5's ass.

Maybe it did on a stock banshee.Mine had stock cylinders,but with a dyna ignition,clamp-on fiters(no air box),and a trinity head w/20 cc. domes.They said the head was possiby causing my problem with extra compression.I actually traded pipes with Toomey.They are good people to deal with.After I sent them the T-6's and got the T-5's and installed them,It had more top end.I've actually tried them both,Have you?Not trying to be rude,just asking?Toomey will tell you,they design their pipes for stock bikes.But the T-5 just responds better to mods.Head,porting,etc...

I had a basically stock 'Shee with T5's before & I like the t6's better. I've chosen to leave the internals stock on Both 'Shee's I've got now 'cause there's no place to drag around here. The only competition around here is a bunch of basically stock 450's & so far I've outran every one of them. There are guys that can outride me (I'm an old fart), but not in drag races or open trails.

I would say its just what you like, I know the LRD's made almost similar hp to the Toomey's but Toomey's still have more hp. I like my T6's and they've worked fine for me and I dont think a coolhead with more compression could hurt your power just because of pipes.

Yeah.....LRD's provide 9 hp across the rpm band increase over stock (at the least). The Toomey's have spots in the rpm band where they are only about 6 over stock. The peak hp number is 18 over stock I believe (if I remember correctly) for the LRD's and I know the Toomey's produced 1.5 hp more than the LRD's at their peak.

 

Personally I'll give up the 1.5 peak hp for a pipe that is gonna pull harder through the whole rpm band.

 

My buddy and I would drag and he had t5's and I had LRD's and our only difference was that I was running a foam filter and he was running a K&N and had ported reed cages. I'd pull on him a little coming up through the gears and we'd be about dead even at the end

 

But I'd kill him in the woods
