fmf vs toomey

[crbanshee]

i posted a topic here asking what pipes would be faster i got alot of feed back saying get the t 5's..i already own the t6's but the answer to the guestion is as follows..the banshee with the t6's also had boysen reeds and other than thats it.the gearing is stock 14/41..now the banshee with fmf fattys and power core 2's is geared 15 40..the fmf banshee ate the toomey banshee for lunch..

gearing is what makes u faster. you choose a pipe performance wise. fattys are good all around pipes, toomeys are a mid-top pipe, good for the dunes. mods and things just help you get to that top speed faster. out of the 2 pipes I prefer fattys, I speak from experience.

if it was a long race yeah the fmf will win its got higher gears

 

with stock bikes, with both pipes. i race a guy with fmf i had t5.

 

we were about the same every time drag racing

run same gearing and see what happens. t5s will prolly win that one. either way id still run t5s over fmf anyday.

I agree with Loco, but I am also biased because I run T-5's. The problem with your comparison is yes your gearing with the fmf's is higher, so yes, out of the hole you are going to win but top speed you will loose. I am confused about one thing thats odd, you are asking about fmf and t-5's then you test t-6's. Correct me if I am wrong but there is a performance difference between the t-5's and the t-6's. I was told t-6's work great on stock bikes, but not on modded ones. So the added reeds may have brought the performance of the test down.

 

Anyway, bottom line is if you are testing different pipes for performance the bikes have to have the same setup or it wont be an accurate test, oh ya and the riders should be equal on their amount of experience. I still like the t-5's, just my .02

t6 work with stock ports, bolt ons dont kill performance
