Sent back my Trinity stage IV's for T6's

[Rippin-it]

I bought some trinity stage 4 pipes for my 06 banshee. I installed them with V3 reeds, Noss 18cc dome, and k+n filter with no lid. My brother has the EXACT same mods except he has T6's. We have the same jetting etc. Riding them back to back is night and day difference as far as seat of the pants power. The T6's hit sooner and much harder, they do sign off earlier than the trinitys but overall the power is much better. Trinity is good about sending them back as long as its hasn't been over 30 days.

 

I know the T6's are as good with bog bore and ported motors but I plan to keep it stock for atleast a year or two, at that time I will sell the T6's and get something more suited for that, but on a stock motor I would bet the T6's will outrun any other pipe/silencer combo.

T6's are good on stock bikes, so if you plan on keeping your bike pretty much stock, go that route. T5's respond better to porting, so if you ever plan on porting your bike (which will give you a nice increase in power), definitely get the T5's instead of teh T6's.

The T-5's are better for ported engines. Look at toomeys web page where you order. T-6 it says stock engine. T-5 Stock and Moddified engines. The Trinity Pipes would have worked great for Ported Engines too.

The trinitys were a great pipe no doubt, they just lacked the "hit" that the Toomeys give on a stock motor.

 

How are the SST's that you have? Are they a smooth pipe or do they hit good? I have always loved the sound of toomeys, so I will most likely go with them, but the SST's are always in the back of my mind.

Sorry I havent updated my sig. It is fixed now. I sold my SST's and got some Toomey T5's. The SST's came on a little sooner than the t5's. The T5's had the harder hit when it comes on the pipe. The t5's also reved higher. The T5's aslo sound way better. If you plan on doing any type of porting I would get the t5's over the t6's.

Thats is how I figured the FMF's would be. Also like you say about the sound, the Toomeys have that distinct noise that is so addicting to listen to. All the other pipes sound good but are to "smooth".

 

I don't plan on porting any time in the near future so I think the T6's would suite me better. Plus the T6's are more of a low and mid pipe - T5's more mid to top. I ride smooth sandy trails using 3rd and 4th gear mainly. I also don't ride the bike real hard so the T6's seem to have the snap right there at low rpm cruising speed.
