Jantzer Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 What is the difference between the two systems they offer for the banshee. I know one has a single muffler where both exaust pipes enter with a single exit, and one system uses a true dual. Is there any differences in power etc. between the two? Anybody that has a set or ridden a banshee with a set, how do you like them? Do they work well with porting? If you have any pics feel free to leave a link or email me the pics. sjantzer@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4strokekiller Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 i have the 916 pipes on my 2000 banshee. their is no difference in performance between the two setups of pipes. both pipe systems use the same expansion pipe but different silencers. the 916 pipes were made for the 87-00 banshees. the aliens were made for the 2001 and up. the reason they changed their pipes was because one of the stock modifications to the banshee that yamaha made was a bigger taillight. the 916 pipes could not fit on the newer models because the taillight would have hit the silencer therefore dmc made the alien pipes to fit the newer models. both systems will fit on the 87-00 banshees but only the aliens will fit on the 01-04s. i hope i answered your question and good luck. the 916 system sounds hellacious!!. later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4strokekiller Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 u were woldering how the pipes sounded well let me tell you! it is unlike any other pipe that i have heard. it is a very clean crisp sound. it sounds like a streetbike but raspier. somebody told me that it sounds like a cross between a streetbike and an indycar. the pipes also have one hell of a powerband!! you would not believe the amount of top end theses pipes give your motor. good luck!!

KEVPOPPAPUMP Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Since I have had both the 916 and Alien setup I'll comment on em. The 916 setup looks killer IMHO and the Alien setup looks quality as well. The taillight comment is right on but who cares, you can always get a nice led setup on Ebay if you have a 02+ big brake light Banshee. The performance between the two is unnoticeable. I have yet to hear a better sounding pipe on a Banshee than the DMC. They have awesome mid power but not as much on top compared to my T5's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer_Shee Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 The actual big reason DMC changed the design is the single silencer could not be run with a round housing swingarm. People were crushing them with the brake caliper when the suspension was fully compressed. So if you are running a round housing swingarm, do yourself a favor and get the Aliens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
