trex banshee Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 with your setup and riding style i would go with the t5s. i don't know how well rockets do in the trails, my guess would be you would have to keep her reved up. i run rockets and love them, but all i ride is dunes and drags on the weekends. But it is your decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 i say t5's. i think theyll have everything you are looking for.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80overShee Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 I have T-5's and I do all types of riding. They are a little tough for woods riding but probably better than the Rockets. You have to keep the revs high for both pipes and the power band hits hard. If you are looking for somethin to improve your drag'n and still woods ride then I would go with the T5's but if you are looking to improve over all you may want a lower end pipe such as FMF Fatties. Its all in your riding style. I just know I am clutchin the hell outta mine doing hard trail riding, its either keep it in the power band or dont touch the power band. If it hooks hard when the power band hits with T5's you'll wheelie and smack a tree or go off-trail... With high-end pipes I would definitely suggest advancing your timing as well. It made a huge difference in the power band location on mine. It went from an all out top end bike to all out mid-top. Still not much for low end but atleast the power band is useable for trail riding now.....actually its almos too fast for the tight trails I ride now.

hittintrees srh Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 You mite wanna check out some pc platnums, my friend has them on his shee, and his power band is awsome! It spreads all over the rpm range, and it still makes damn good power on top. But ill still kick his ass when it comes to drag racin(i got t5's). As for your two options, i'd got with the t5's But dont take my word for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpeinkc Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 t5's are the $hit.... i had t5's, went to tr6's, missed the pull from the 5's so now i am back there. i ride my shee in all conditions and the t5's on a stock banshee will hang pretty close with my built yfz450. i would go with the t5's i know 2 stockers with them and they love them and me well, not stock but i love them too......just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Get the T5's... Then, get your flywheel lightened and buy a timing advance plate for it, set it at +4 and be happy. I loved my T5s...but...with the last two mods listed, they came alive! Easier to get on the pipe...and T5's have enough top end (Not as much as the rockets) to keep revving out.... You won't be dissapointed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrockMoto Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 If your not too stuck on t-5's or Rockets, you might consider FMF SST's they are a little pricey but an excellent all around pipe. Also trinity stageIV?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
