rlm2268 Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Hi, I'm looking at buying a banshee, it has a trued and welded crank, pro ported, coated pistons, cut head, ect. It has toomey T3 pipes. Is it worth the money to go to a newer designed set of pipes? How do the old T3's compare to some of the newer pipes? Quad will mostly be used just to rip around, drag race some buddy's and maybe some oval racing. Thank's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 theyre better than stock. but they arent as good as t5s or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decon Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 (edited) for dragging and messing around in the open they should do great...from my knowledge the t3's are pipey and top end Edited November 23, 2005 by dEcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyBanshee Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I have heard that the t3's dont fit a-arm bikes is this true or do they hit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKJK Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 You want to take 2in out of the belly of the expansion chamber.The fattest part of the pipe, inbetween the two cones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzcolobanshee Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 T3's are pretty pipey, and they get really bad when you cut them, you end up with hardly any low end. Once you get into the power they're pretty good, they rev very high. I wouldn't waste your time on them, get some cpis or shearers, you will be much happier. T3's don't fit perfectly on a-arm bikes, you have to put a small dent in the front of the pipe for the a-arm bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnite Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 (edited) I have T-3's on my 87. They are a top end pipe. They have a very hard hit, and no botton end. The T-5 and T-3 [and t-4 for that matter] have a similar top end rush, but the t-5's have better mid and low power. Nothing wrong with the top end hp of the t-3. I like em. They have a race bike "all or nothing" feel to them. Edited November 27, 2005 by midnite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
370banshee Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 if anybody ahs a set of t3's they wanna sell cut or not... i'm lookign for a set... i want em for my flattrack banshee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlm2268 Posted November 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Hi, does anyone know how the T3's would compare to shearers or cpi's through out the power band ? Do the toomeys and shearers sound simular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketboy Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Do the toomeys and shearers sound simular? 442696[/snapback] yes except when the shearers " come o n "the pipe they change their tone too a more raspy note and scream bloody murder on topend rpms similar to that of several thousand pissed off yellow jacket bees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuntmasta3o5 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 yes except when the shearers " come o n "the pipe they change their tone too a more raspy note and scream bloody murder on topend rpms similar to that of several thousand pissed off yellow jacket bees 443453[/snapback] Sounds nice.. I've never heard shearers before but the pipe I've always like to hear are CPI's.. How do the shearers run against them (sound wise and performance wise) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABL Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I would add my 2 cents. My bro has a ported (j arm) .040 over with t3's. I think the t3 sounds rad on top it sounds like a street bike and they really are lightswitch power. t5's pull good too but the 3's overtake them on top end. I have a set from lilmikey on my 00 and they are gonna be fitted so I have some clearance. They do fit but it is very tight. Plus shearer pipes are the exact same design as a cut t3 with more pipe volume?!? I swear that is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
