GrMeyer Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 From what I have read. They are a great low end pipe. I have not had a chance to ride them. But if you have them and your getting ready to sell a banshee that has Fattys. I would test run both. See what one you like better and so on. Just remember to rejet. But I would have to say that I love my Fattys for being an all around pipe. From trail riding-dune riding. Havent had anything bad to say about the Fattys. But kind of wish I had time to try some more pipes. But for an engine builder to respond. They would like to know what kind of riding you will be doing with the bike. And what has been done to the banshee. And if you are planning on doing any mods later one. They can send you in the right direction on which pipe to chose from. Best of luck!

VegasJeff Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I would choose the fatty's.I had both pipes and didn't care for the bills,they had a pop sound instead of a ding and the fatty's came on sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullthrottle02 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 IMO - fatty's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrMeyer Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Good to know! Did u rejet for both? And how's it running now that u have the fatty on. Also there are more bolt ons that u can add if u already don't have them to help wake the banshee up and be the machine it should be.

camatv Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 which bills pipes do you have? i have some fmf's that i would consider tradeing for the bill's./ if you had a pic of them that will tell me what style they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 They are both comparable pipes. The shee I jetted w/ Bills pipes came in smooth and early and revved nicely as well. I really liked them powerwise for all around. The fattys are a nice pipe as well. Both jetted correctly will give you the same pull. I'd say its personal preference for sound and finish.

lykins89shee Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I had both, and I like the sound and look of the Bills but I think the fmf may pull a little better imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheelman Chassis Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 when i first got my banshee, i raced my buddies banshee which had near the same mods.. my bike had bills pipes his had fmfs, i also had a set of fmfs (both fmf fattys). with the fattys on me and him were neck and neck through the whole race, then i put the bills on. with the bills on i was ahead of him by a bike or so every time. my opinion is there about the same, you can prolly tune a bike or so out of either by jetting. pick the one with the power delivery how you like it, imo the fattys hit harder but later. the bills are real smooth but louder. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trail rider Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 i'd say just take a nice sunny day and test out both sets of pipes. you shouldn't have to worry too much about changing the jetting much (if any) between em. and it should take no more than 30-45mins to change out the pipes.
