slim~shady Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Hey bro, i just bought a new 2004 banshee myself and to be honest when i first rode it i wasent immpressed at all. I started asking around on what to do and everybody told me that pipes will wake up the sleeping beast. So i spent the $659.00 including shipping on the new toomey's t6's and boy let me tell you, its a totally different bike. This bike is a true beast now and i'm in love with it. Not only do they look great, sound great, but they woke the beast up..."it's alive"...lol.. I'm very happy with toomey's product and i will recomend it highly. Took me about 4 hrs to install and i fell in love with the pipes the second i started it up. Hope this advice helps you out cause it sure helped me.

Motoman991 Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 get pipes and silencers, better airfilter and setup, and radvalves, that will really help with the power. How did it take you 4hrs to install pipes, i took my stock pipes off and put my fmf pipes and silencers on in less than 30 mins and i also made my stock airfilter basket into a proflow style so i could use my k&n.

Blue Duece Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 it wants you to get an aftermarket head or mill your stock one for more compression.i prefer the aftermarket head you can change the domes for different compressions and elevations.....noss machine makes a nice one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignasty1 Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 heres a list of mods that i would go with.... in this order Noss machine cool head with domes of your choice,depends on elevtation since you dont ride anything tight and pretty much open areas may a set of pipes like rocket or cpi's or power pro's, toomey air filter set up, mines in the mail and i have herd others are very impressed with it compared to stock. and some suspension to help with the sometimes rough ride of the bike.

Master Posted October 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 yea i was thinking of the same order but how do i know what domes are best for me and what do u guys reccomend?? im at sea level, a little higher i was thinking of the trinity stage 4 pipes,,, then i was thinking of putting the v force rad valves then a K&N air filter (are they any good?) then finally a 35mm carb if u think i shouldnt get any one of these tell me why and wat would b better.. thanx..

Blue Duece Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 Noss makes a good 1.....20cc's would be safe on pump fuel about any where youd ride....or you could mill a stocker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott M Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Yes if your not going to mill or mill+rechamber your stock head I suggest a Noss head + patriot 20cc gas cut domes. Unless you want to go all out and get a RKT Head for the best possible custom cut domes, money is no object and you don't mind dissassembalingblingblig your engine for measurments.

Yamaha350T Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 The first thing you should get for a stock banshee is rear tires. These bikes are definitely wheel spinners and you gotta put the power to the ground to really feel the power. Then do something about the airfilter setup, because the stock ones tend to not seal correctly, you could do a pro flo with a k+n which i have in my own banshee. If you're gonna get the single 35, then just get the clamp on k+n with it. That gets rid of the whole airbox and really cleans up the motor and gives you room to work on it. Pipes are the best things you can do for a banshee. The stock ones are very restrictive, you can tell just by looking at them. They loop around and get really small in spots. Good luck with your new banshee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedBanshee Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 ok, first get pipes and air filters. for your riding conditions either t5's or cpi's. if your gonna stay stock go w/ t5's. if your gonna get porting, go w/ the cpi's, you'll thank me later. for filters get some k&n's. get the clamp on's so you dont f*ck up like i did and get the big one and then get clamp on's later and now gonna need another set once i get bigger carbs. you dont need a new head unless your going to do some internal work. get some reeds or port your stock cages. advance the timing. lighten the flywheel, rejet and gear. you will be happy until you get beat by a ported bike. p.s. dont get t6's, they suck. guy on planetsand just did a dyno of a bunch of pipes and t6's were worse than t5's. in my honest opinion t5's for unported motor and cpi's for modded motor.
