Spanks906 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I have been reading endlessly about which pipes are the best for trails. So now I am going to post up asking for opinions. Here is how I ride: Back roads, old railroad grade, some pits, and some tighter technical stuff. I ride with an 75-85hp build raptor 700, warrior 350, and another banshee that is stock except t5's. Any recommendations? I have been thinking either the T-5 or DMC 916 as the head-pipes are almost identical. I also thought about PTR Mids but I cannot justify myself spending $950 for a full set in chrome. I do want new pipes and am looking in the $550-$700 area. Thanks, Brad.

dezrik Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I have Pro Circuit Platinums and a Aggressive trail port. I ride mostly in tight technical trails. The pipes have great low-mid range and I still have most of my top end for the open road back to camp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanks906 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 DMC 916's. I had those and T5's on a GRR Pro Port. They worked amazing, killed the T5s. Sweet. I'm looking at a good port jop and head this coming summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanks906 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Why not get some used fatties and a trail port for less than $500. Don't like the curve of the fatties and want more power. But I did think about em. I don't want used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanks906 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 wow look at that same answers as all the threads Reason I'm asking is because most of them are for complete stock motors or aftermarket cylinders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanks906 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Get the 916's. you'll love them. Fit great, perform great, sound great. If I ever built another trail bike they would be the pipe id run again. How is their low/mid compared to a t5? I imagine pretty close as the chambers look almost identical. I'm hoping to be around the 60-75hp range ported and domed for max on 91 pump gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanks906 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 T5s won't even compare. The low-mid is amazing and the top end also pulls better with the 916s. I couldn't believe it when I swapped on my old bike Good to hear. I probably will go with an agressive trail or hardcore mx style port job.

noonansar Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I swapped from pro circuit platinums to 916s. Best move I could make. The low/mid is around the same but the top end pull is 10x better with the 916s. I love these pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Never owned 916's. But I did ride an all bolt on bike with them and it pulled great with some 33pwk's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
