I need some opinions on either getting high rev or midrange pipes. Banshee has a +6 swingarm and ported cylinders. I am looking for more of an all around pipe. Wondering how much i loose on the top end with the midrange pipes (compared to the high rev)and if the porting helps get some back if I do go with midrange. Any opinions are welcome including personal taste. Thanks

I have ran mid ranges for a few years now. I started with T5s and didnt like them for the trails. Put the mids on and the difference was incredible exactely what i wanted. Uped the compression and got a dyna ign., that even added more useable power and i couldnt ask for more. Ran them for a year on stock cyls then my crank froze so i put a stroker crank and passion porting in. i had the port done to work with the mids, more or less a trail port with good topend. still kept the mids because they worked so well in the past, ran it and it was still good. the power from porting picked up from mid to top. put some 30mm carbs on same power, traded them for 34pjs this month, havent ran it yet with them on. i kept the mids with the stroker because the power was so usable for where i ride. i know they are holding the top back but the only way i will get rid of the mids is if i borrow a set of topend pipes and try them to see if the power spread is similar. with a set of different pipes i know you can get a few more thousand rpms out but for what i do its not worth losing down low power. a lot of people rag on them but for trails, xc racing, mx, in my opinion they cant be beat on a set of stock cyls. they held their own against every topend piped banshee i ever raced, and especially since they get on the pipe down low and take off. kinda wish i didnt go with the stroker setup because the way it ran on stock cyls was plenty, however i had to replace the crank and it seemed logical.

 

it all depends on how and where you want the power, and how your cyls are ported.

im with 300F turner is a sweet pipe, the mid is the ticket, if you have a drag port you would want the hi rev, but then fuck that get a drag pipe, i guess what im saying is the mids a great pipe, i dont care how you ride that bike, your power band coming on lower is a good thing......

I ran with pt-mids for a good while-love them-trail riding they are the best-swicthed to T-5s,had to go up on jetting,top-end increased real good but the T-5s suck for trail riding,you have to keep rpms up and more shifting. Just got the 4mil running on my other shee,so now I will put the pt-mids back on the trail shee.If you can open it up-T-5s,trail-pt-mids,havent tried the pt-high rev.That darn fmf fatty is also a good alaround pipe

I've used both pt's The Mid is more sutied for trails. The Hi-rev is a good all around pipe, a little less on bottom but pulls harder and longer then the mid. Its actually more of a mid-top pipe.
