BeemerGee Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 My Banshee came with fmf powercore2 silencers, now i have baught sst pipes, the silencers dont fit, can i cut the extra pipe on the silencers to fit or is there a big difference on the sst powercore2 silencers? What is the main difference, is it only lengh? I dont want to spend unnecessary. Quote
black sunshine Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 I dont know what you'll end up doing, but if you need any dimensions I have a set of sst silencers. Im sure along with the length there will be some bends to deal with. Quote

From the look of it, if i shorten the silencer, there is no bending required. I just hope it ill work well together, that the silencers are the same, no special advance in sst silencers compared to non sst powercore2 silencers. Quote
LiftdT4R Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 The only difference is the length, otherwise, it's exactly the same silencer as the powercores. I used to run Powercores, now I have SSTs, which is the only reason I know. You can just cut them to fit, and save bout 200 or so, but keep in mind you have to re-use the flange on the silencer side.

BeemerGee Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Posted February 25, 2007 Thank you very much. Jst one more question? The sst pipes, the front left pipe is touching the engine head and frame bolt and the right side is touching the coolant pipe to radiator. Are they like this? I'm taking the left one back, they brand new. Quote
black sunshine Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 My left one is alright, but my right one does hit the radiator hose pretty good. I dont have a temp gauge, but I went on some pretty good rides with it and didnt have any overheating or burst hose issues. :shrug: Quote

Couldn't tell you which without looking at the bike. But it's most likely the pipe. Just bend the radiator hose out of the way, they are made to withstand a lot of heat from the coolant flowing through them, but you might melt it eventually. Quote

BeemerGee Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Posted February 26, 2007 Cool, thanks a million. Hi, can anyone help me with lengh on the SST powercore2 silencers? So i can cut my non sst powercore2 silencers to fit. Quote
BeemerGee Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Posted March 5, 2007 It worked, i shortened it bend it and welded the flange on. Thanks guys Quote
