quadaholic Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Hi I am new to the form and have an 01 that is bone stock. First I met a guy who had some of the same mods I want to do. T5's and a jet kit and open the box up, although he had added a cool head with larger domes. He stated that if I did not put on the cool head it would turn my pipes blue is this the case or is it bs? Also I found a kit of T5's with silencers and toomey jet kit and a K&n filter with box vents for roughly $600.00 is there any better deals out there that anyone can recommend. I had an 89 years ago and put the jet kit and air filter and fmf fatties on and don't remember the pipes changing color due to getting hot. I searched for this but did not find anything on it. Thanks for your help in advance. Quote
bbluebanshee Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 As long as it is jetted right, the pipes will not turn colors. As far as the price for the pipes...unless you fing a good used set, that is what you are looking to pay from a stealership!! Quote
ssanddemon Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 Am I stupid, or aren't the pipes supposed to blue 2" to 3" from the head? Quote
bbluebanshee Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 I always run a seperate set of pipes for break in. This (if the shee is jetted right) is when the motor is under the most friction, thus creating more heat. This in turn discolors the pipe. The fatter the jetting the less discoloration. Most banshes pipes are blued 3-5 inches from the cylinders because of the breakin process. Sometomes more due to a lean condition Quote
