cam2 Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 whatever you decide dont let those hacks at trinity try to tell you that thier pipe is the best for your application, if i called them right now and asked them what pipe was best for woods riding ,theyd assure me its theirs ,same with any style port or riding terrain preferece,its always their trinity stage 7 pipe or wtf ever they call them now.theres no such pipe that works for every thing or every motors exhaust timing. 372273[/snapback] i agree. i have trinity's stainless steel in-frame pipes and i love them but i'm running them on "ported" stock jugs. if i was running a cheetah motor i probably wouldn't use those pipes i would use a set of in-frame drag pipes unless the bike was setup for nothing but drag racing then i would use a set of out of frame drag pipes. if your choice was just between the trinity pipes and the T5 pipes i feel that you would be better off with the trinity pipes. i've rode my buddies bike with T5's a lot and they are a good pipe but it's my opinion that trinity's are better performers.

locogato11283 Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 If your going all out drag and want the best pipe go with the GRR suicide pipes. 372283[/snapback] or you can go with inframe rockets because they are pretty much the same damn thing. has anyone ever seen a set of GRR drag pipes and then looked at rockets? pretty much identical besides the fact the GRR's dont have silencers. geez these look alike dont they???

cam2 Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 are you guys who run the rockets trying to compensate for something, those things are huge? just kidding. they definitely have some girth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestar Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 (edited) I just sent my motor to Trinity to get built. I am getting the 400cc ported Cheetah kit done. I will be running 35mm Keihin carbs, Dyna FS ignition V-Force 3 cages, and their clutch kit. I was having a debate on which pipes to run. I want to run the T-5's but I hear that they will restrict flow to the Cheetah motor compared to the Trinity Stage IV pipes. Any thoughts on the matter?

bigscary Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 yea i would not run those pipes on that motor but thats just me. i think youd have a lot better power without sacrificing much if any on bottom by running rockets or cpi... 372164[/snapback] you better check everything that trinity does before you run that thing...... they hammered me and i'm a one of their dealers......... I personally wouldn't buy shit else from them.....unless you are buying UNprted cheetah cylinders and letting a REPUTABLE builder port/ set them up for you........

01bansheeke Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 ^^i'm with this cat here. I had a friend who had a zilla motor completely built by trinity. Assembled and all. He started it up..within an hour of break in the $1500 billet crank blew to pieces. He spent over 3k on that motor...and they pretty much told him to go fuck himself. its a race motor and they don't warranty anything.1 hour it lasted..he never even got in it. Jetted to there specs with THERE carbs, there intake, everything from trinity. And then a pleasent go fuk yourself and have a nice day. Not the kind of place that gets my business. Smaller builders tend to stand behind there stuff a little bit more than that. I'm sure about all of the builders on here would lend a helping hand one way or another..at least use some lube.

liftedandgifted Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 I had a set of trinity stage IV's and then I went to a set of fmf sst and they out performed the stage IV's by far. I am pretty sure that the shearer, rockets,and cpi's are a ton better. My friends and I go back and forth so see what pipes perform better and the trinity's definetly aren't up to par. Just my .02 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stclark816 Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 if you want the most out of your cheetah cylinders get shearers. they make more power than cpi's and way more than rockets. this is on cheetah motors. I know rockets have outperformed cpis on a stock cylinder banshee, but the rockets cannot hang shearer or cpi on a cheetah cylinder. you will not be getting the most out of your $2000 cheetah with rockets. for those running rockets on your cheetahs, put a set of shearer's on and then go to the dyno. also to get unbiased information on how to get the most out of a cheetah please go to planetsand.com those people over there are the experts on cheetahs and the maker of the cheetah is a mod over there and you can PM him and he even replies. shearer chrome are $450 while rockets and cpi's are $550 372211[/snapback] Dont hate..

01bansheeke Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Dont hate.. Appreciate.. 374594[/snapback] lmao..and dont' take advice from someones who's post count reflects there IQ The biased opinions here are pretty much the ones who have used the cheetah motors on this site. not too many people here have, so the people who have usually chime in.

Just my .02 cents 374562[/snapback] hhhhhmmmmmm????????? were the trinity's on a ported engine? i had SST's for a year and a half and i liked them on the stock engine but they don't even hold a candle to the trinity's on my ported engine. the trinity's come on sooner and pull longer on top, and yes both set of pipes were/are jetted properly. i would like to put trinity pipes on a stock ported bike to see how they perform, and because they are designed for a ported engine where as the SST's were designed to work well with a stock port engine the trinity's "may not" do as well but they sure out shine the SST's on a ported engine by far. if i rode WOT most of the time i probably would run a set of in-frame drag pipes but for my riding style they are up to par and if they weren't i damn sure would get something else. but to each their own.
