nickxc Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 I have sst powercore silencers on my shee and one side the weld holding the silencer to the stinger tube broke and almost fell off. so I had to have it welded and upon further inspection I found a crack all the way across the mounting ear on the other stinger tube. I had a guy fabricate some spacers and got a couple bolts at the local hardwear shop and put a bolt in the ear on the top of the silencer to help stop vibration. Anyway I have an extra $35 into silencers that have only been used for about 5 tanks of gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickxc Posted May 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 DONT TELL ME TO GET OFF MY ASS!!! The first thing I did was call them, no answer it was sunday so I sent them an email and still no responce. Oh dont worry Im still looking to get it taken care of by them but I wanted to ride so I had to have it welded, Im not waiting weeks for new silencers. or at least a responce to my calls and email I wanna ride. My toomey pipes never had a weld crack apart or a hanger break Thats all im saying!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Duece Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 The first thing I did was call them, no answer it was sunday . My toomey pipes never had a weld crack apart or a hanger break well why did you go to fmf then if your toomeys were cool, ill go ahead and be the asshole here, and ask ya why did ya switch to sst's? did it run better? then the weld snapped? the kid that tacked that could have just came back from lunch after puffing a fattie, ive had a fmf pipe on my CR for 8 years and its cool, i dont have fmf's on my quad but know alot of guys running that pipe and none of them have busted welds, id say "shit happens" it would piss me off too, but your the very first guy ive ever heard with something bad to say about fmf...... id give them a chance.....but if you welded it its handled.......how does your bike run Toomey verses FMF?

Oilsmoke Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 You called on Sunday? You should call On monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickxc Posted May 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 of course I should call on monday but it broke on sunday. I have never heard any bad about fmfs quality either thats why I decided to go with ssts instead of toomeys. I found them for almost $100 cheaper and I like the sound of fmf better and they arnt as loud and I ride around town a lot. As far as performance I cant feel any difference between the two shees. they had different mods so its hard to tell. It dosent really matter now since I got it welded The weld is thicker and wider so It wont break again I just wanted to post my prob so if it had hapended to anyone else they could hear it wasn't the first time and I wanted to bitch about having to put money in a new set of silencers. I didnt realize anyone would crawl up my ass about it, the shit aint my fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boonman Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I've had my FMF silencers for quite a bit. Not a problem. Alot of peeps have had FMF silencers. Not a problem..... I had a pair of brand new billet pipe hangers. One of them snapped in half. I welded it. problem fixed. Lemme ask, did the weld break, or did the material break?

nickxc Posted May 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I dont know shit about welds It was cracked all the way around the stinger tube where it connects to the silencer looks like the weld to me but idk. Its fixed now so I cant tell ya... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamahammer Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Yhey are good people over there but the phone service could be improved. i needed the rubber groments for the silencer dealer said only available through them went down to there factory and they gave me a set of 4 and stickers. cant beat that.

nickxc Posted May 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 my SST's rock, They kick Toomey right in the ass I dont know how the ssts compare to the fattys but when I had my last banshee my buddy had the same thing both 2000 shees stock. I put T5's on mine and he put fattys on his and I have about 40 lbs on him and I could walk him on pavement all day. I personally like the ssts pretty well they seem about the same as the T5s did but its hard to remember Im sure they are close I doubt ssts make enough of a difference to spank a banshee with T5s Id like to race some one with the same mods as me and T5s. but prolly never get to...
