t5's

[banshee_08]

ive heard with toomey t5's on a stock shee you can make 53 hp and idk if this is right im just wonderin cause im gonna be buyin some soon

Maybe once you have; advanced timing, good reeds, good carbs, good head. Then you would have to fiddle with your jetting to get it perfect.... I could be wrong but other guys will chip in and help out

[digger]

when i ordered my t6's the tech at toomey told me that the t6's made 16 hp and the t5's made 12 thats with the 2:1 intake. naturally being intrigued by the bigger numbers i bought the 6's, big mistake aparently! stock banshee is 34 horse i think so u do the math.

Good luck getting 16 horse w/just pipes.

With my mods and bad clutches I made 47hp. You aren't going to make 53 with just some pipes.

i was reading the instructions for t5's on their website and do i NEED the jet kit cause it says the sock WONT work and i need to no if i need to get the jet kit

[biggun6ss]

Yes you will need the jet kit. Any time you change how much fuel or air get in and out of the motor you will have to rejet.

Pipes might make 10 - 15hp over stock pipes at a certain RPM and thats what they advertise but they probably only make about 5 more peak HP. So a 35hp bike will make 40hp w/pipes and not 50 like they make it sound.

 

They don't advertise the peak gain because it don't sound as good. If stock pipes drops off at say 8000rpm and an aftermarket pipes revs to 9500 thens there's 1500rpms with a big difference in Hp while the actual peak is just slightly higher.

that makes alot of sense but will toomeys make more than 5 peak hp?

[Tim C]

Probably not much more then 5hp - I doubt you'd get 10 with just pipes. Opening up your airbox and some reeds to will definitly help to after you put pipes on.

 

Don't get me wrong the Toomey pipes (or any other brand) will make a huge difference in a Banshee and is well worth every penny.

well i dont have the air box off now but i have the snorkle off but i dont want to take it off because i ride in the mud alot

 

i will be gettin reeds too

You can put vents in the stock box or get a Pro Design Pro-Flow filter kit and then run without the airbox cover - this will help it breath better. But if you're always in water and mud it might not be a good idea but definitely get a good filter setup because stock in a piece of shit and it will suck dirt into the engine.
