FMF gnarly pipes

[cbn70]

I just bought a 2000 banshee with gnarly pipes. It also has ignition advanced 4 degrees and a k&n filter. This thing pulls like crazy on the bottom, but is flat on the top. Does not pull on the top like the other banshees I have owned over the years with the regular fmf fatties and toomey pipes. I have had the carbs apart and done numerous jetting runs and the jetting is good. Is this the nature of these pipes?

I'll take a shot, more like a guess :laugh: maybe with the ignition advanced +4 and those pipes it gives you more bottom then some, but you lose top just because of that setup? gl :thumb:

that is kinda what I was thinking, but have never used this setup before. The guy I bought it from said he set it up for trail riding. It will work good for that, but don't think it will be that good for when I take it to the dunes. Might need to put a set of different pipes on it.

any others?? :baseball_bat:

gnarlys are all bottom end pipes, thats why their top end is pretty much like stock.

I had gnralys on my banshee with +4 timiing and was right like your describing. Pulls real hard on the bottom but has a real flat topend.

I wouldn't describe it as flat on top, more like not as good as a top end pipe. I had those pipes and loved it for trail and dune. But then again I rode 99% trails and 1% dunes :biggrin:

 

It's a low end pipe, it is what it is

thanks for the reply's. I think that I will like these pipes for the trail riding, but have some others to try for dune riding, and other types of riding. I have T-3's, T-5's and a set of paul turner midrange as well.
