Banshee_Bandit Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Hi there, had my FMF fattys with power core II silencers on when I bought my Shee a year ago... Now a friend of mine wants to sell his DMC setup (not the 916`s) and am wondering which one would be best for me... Riding on street only... want to do some wheelies as well... Fatty are mid to Top end with the rpm range and DMC`s are rather low/mid range ist that correct ?!? That would mean my accelaration would be stronger with the dmc`s but my top speed goes down the drain or what ?!? Engine is fairly stock got only K&N Airfilter with a precharger on it and 1 oversize set of pistons... and what about the loudness of both I mean we will eventually face a sound polution ticket here from the coppers when they are too loud damn German State !!! Would appreciate any info and help... Kind Regards Quote
ASRBanshee Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 It looks like you have it bacwards because the DMC's really help in the mid range to top end power and somewhat of torque. The only other option it looks like he is selling you is the Aliens because that is the only other silencers than the 916's Quote

The only other option it looks like he is selling you is the Aliens because that is the only other silencers than the 916's So the dmc`s are more mid to top end ... I didnt know that !!! and what about performance of both ?!? which one ist better any kinda experience would be really helpfull... The noise level should be the same I guess right ? Quote
shanYE west Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 from my experience with them.. they very similar performance wise.. Quote
SandRageShee Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) i have fmf fattys on mine with power core 2 silencers and a 42 rear sprocket and a stock front and its got A LOT of low end power and torque. it wheelies with no problem. even riding the gas tank goose and and the front goes up. on another shee i have its completely stock. stock bore, gears, carbs, etc, with dmc 916's and it just SCREAMS up top. it bogs a lot in 2nd if u try to take off in second but once shee winds up SHEES GONE as far as noise level . the DMC's are going to be A LOT louder. my fmfs are quiet.and my toomeys are. plug ur ears Edited June 9, 2008 by SandRageShee Quote
Banshee_Bandit Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Posted June 9, 2008 so what would be the conclusion ?!? what a killer question aye what would be your choice as experienced riders ?!? appreciate your comments btw... Quote
okbeast Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Both are basic pipes, none is better than the other really with the little amount of work you have done to the bike. Quote

Banshee_Bandit Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Posted June 9, 2008 so you guys are saying that as long as i dont do any porting works an my little beast i won`t really matter which pipe would use ... i tried those 2nd gear jump starts but couldnt really manage to keep up with the competition... tried it so many times revving that puppy up and let go of the clutch but hopeless... maybe o got the wrong technique... never mind lads.. thanks a lot for your answers and have a nice one Quote
okbeast Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 I mean it can have some affect, but rider skill is a big thing in racing that people don't understand. Try slipping the clutch a little when taking off it if it's bogging. Quote
