kylechs04 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I have an 89 banshee with cool head, 19cc domes, full port, timing advance, v-force reeds, dyno jet kit, .020 over wiseco prolites, welded crank. The bike currently has FMF gold series pipes, but i have a set of T5's laying around. I was told that it wont make much of a difference? what do you think?

bansheejoel Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 if it were me i would put those t-5's on i have fmf's on my banshee and i like them but have only hered that they are shit, i am looking for a set of t-5's for my shee, they sound a hell of a lot better in my opinion and if im correct t-6's are for stock porting and t-5s are for ported engines i would throw them on and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerider1026 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 man i would ditch those fmf's i have had fmf's t5's t6's cpi's 2 into 1, lrd's, and i would stay with the t5's. thats whats on my bike.. also try to use the toomey silncers if you can, even if they look like shit, i would not mixmatch exhaust setups.. the t5 system sounds fucking sweet to.. nice!! good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthemail Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 FMF's are not shit. mine do sound a little tinny tho ill give em that..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider1026 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 damn man, easy, its all preference. not trying to down you on your pipes, i just give my .02.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 i have heard over and over that the toomey pipes are better.......... i dont know for sure, but, i had a set of fmf gold series fatties on a ported motor with stock carbs (tors removed) and i really liked the way it sounded and ran. you would be hard pressed to get me to believe that the toomeys are that much better. if they are, i dont believe you'd be able to notice the difference in the seat. i think it is more of a preference (ford, chevy, dodge) thing. just my .02 .

jbooker82 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 yeah thats what i was thinking, if i can im going to try and just put the header pipes on and make them fit the FMF silincers because my T5 stingers are messed up bad Why not just order the stinger tubes from toomey? That way you will have a set of silencers to sell with the FMF pipes, instead of doing a hack job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jet mech Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I think you should just put them on it's not like its alot of work, and you tell us what you think is better if you don't like them put the others back on problem solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee_boii Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I think you should just put them on it's not like its alot of work, and you tell us what you think is better if you don't like them put the others back on problem solved you should deff. go with the toomey t5's...there good personaly i think there somewhat better then the fmf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylechs04 Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Why not just order the stinger tubes from toomey? That way you will have a set of silencers to sell with the FMF pipes, instead of doing a hack job. that would work, but im looking at cutting back cost on buying the stingers, and the sparkys that i will have to buy. and im really not worried about the sound because my other banshee has T5's so if i wana hear the beautiful sound of t5s i can hop on that one.
