Geoff Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Ok, the shee I bought a couple months ago has FMF fatty pipes with Toomey silencers and what appears to be the stock stinger. I called FMF and they say that there stinger wont mount up to any other silencer. I was inquiring about this because on the Riders left pipe were it passes inside the frame it vibrates against it and it's annoying so I was looking into getting the proper stinger. I don't want to buy the FMF stinger/silencer kit...One cuz I think there ugly and 2 cuz in the near future I want new pipes. I guess what I want to know is is there a stinger I can buy that will fit with the FMF's and moount to my silencers properly. The one on there now is too short and looks like crap. Thanks, hope someone can help me Geoff Quote
pipebomb Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 (edited) No. classic case of rigging. FMF pipes or mufflers won't match up to other exhausts. fmf designed them that way. the only way to make them fit is to modifiy the ends to fit or make a custom connector to make them match up. but that might hurt the performance since all the exhaust companies make their pipes and mufflers so that they work best when used together.

Animalman294 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Yes, this gives the individual companies job security........... Quote
bansheeseat$$ Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 I know that fmf fatty pipes will work with toomey t-3 stingers but the t-3 stingers are harder to find. Quote
Geoff Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Posted June 8, 2006 bansheeseat$$, I wonder if I can get T-3 stingers thru Toomey? I'll have to check, if FMF didn't make such an ugly silencer I would just buy them for now. Thanks again guys, your always helpful Geoff Quote
prichard9966 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 just get some tubing and find a buddy with a welder. they will fit perfect and be cheap Quote

Thanks again guys, your always helpful Geoff I talked to toomey about them making the stingers again and marketing them for fmf's and so on about a year ago and they said they were thinking about making them but I don't believe they followed threw with it.Maybe if you talked to Steve at toomey he may do someting for you.

Geoff Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Posted June 8, 2006 (edited) I emailed toomey asking about this, I'll let you know what they say when they get back to me. This is what they just sent me "This was for the T3 Model Pipes, and is no longer available. We only have the T5 and T6 Silencer kits (or stinger tubes by themselves) available. Neither of which would fit right up to your T3 pipes, (if that is what you have?) The T3 were discontinued in 1995 and supported for 7 more years, but alas, we had to retire the tooling because of no call." Guess I'm SOL on going that route. Edited June 8, 2006 by Geoff Quote
