Free yellow banshee Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Possibly looking to trade my chrome t5 pipes for something that offers more bottom end. I just broke my motor in and not a huge fan of te light swich powerband. I ride tight trails. Not looking for any 2 into 1 pipes. Leaning towards pc, pt mids, or dmc. Pm if interested. Thanks.

Nightmare Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 T5's are pretty trail friendly imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Ya doubt you'll find much better. Stock maybe or PT mids or smthn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free yellow banshee Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Well if they don't get much more friendly than t5's I guess I'll just have to hold on to them. I have been reading on here that they are a mid - top pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 You might notice a lil difference netween them. Maybe. Maybe some PCs or some FMF knarlies? Dunno. You'd almost have to have them side by side I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free yellow banshee Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 My bike isn't jetted perfect yet, but it's close. Just feels like there is no bottom end then I get smacked in the face with the power band. Runs excellent up top, just needs a little more down low. Jetting is below. I have tested the motor and it's air tight. 27.5's .5 out on air screw. Ordered some 30's. Starts to get a lean bog off idle if I back it out. Stock needles, middle slot 310 mains. Haven't plugged chopped yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 When I was asking about trail pipes almost 10 years ago, I was told pt mids, or maybe some other pipes. I bought T5s before the post was answered. I'm sure there are better pipes than t5s for trail riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fbt551 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Got some clean t6 pipes if you're intrested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free yellow banshee Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Nah. I think I'll just hold on to the t5's and try some other tuning/gearing. From what people are saying I wont notice a difference on bottom end going from t5's to a different pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Forgot about the t6s. That might be an option for ya too. Never ran them personally. Those are supposed to be for a stockish motor and the t5s I think are supposed to have more top end then they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbt551 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Ya t6 ran really good on my stock pump gas set up real torquey but still had a good power band , but after drag porting high comp and 35 carbs they don't perform we'll top end for my setup I have them there if you're intrested 928-287-9035 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free yellow banshee Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I keep reading how the t6's don't like porting. I think I will just keep them or hold out for some pt mids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 T5's were made for wide open desert racing, that's what every desert racer out here used to run. Love the T5's on the dunes but hated them on the tight trails. I liked the FMF fatties with stock carbs for the tight trails, easy to stay on the powerband.
