Banchetta Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 Ya your right on that, i do have to use the clutch a little more but in sand pits i think they rock, and the ones im in actually do have a jump at the top! The thing with T-5's is that the power isnt there at low RPM's but once it hits the power band it just screams. Now are the ptr's easy to drive? Like are they like DMC's where the power is really soft but there? There is a guy around here that has them, but I haven't asked him to try his shee, the way everyone describes them, I'd say they are pretty close. The power comes on instant, but smooth. I think my PT's pull awesome on top. I rip through 6th gear just as fast as 3rd gear and I'm pulling a 16/42 gear. Thats why I like them so much. I have insane bottom end compared to stock and still hit 88mph. I think Yamaha should have these for stock pipes. Then when they field test, the shee would win every time. I don't think these are the best pipes in the world. I think the FMF sst's and FMF gnarly are great low end pipes also. It just depends on the riding you do. These pipes meet my standards and needs. So when someone ask "what is the best pipe for the shee", I say "what kind of riding do you do?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 The PTs have a better low, mid and top. They really don't have a specific area. They just pull straight through consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 I've had mine for 3 years now and haven't got one dent in them. I'm the only one in my area to own them also. They have more torque than any other pipe I've tried or ridden. The hp is pretty respectable. I got 53hp at 8600 rpms on mine w/ stock carbs. I've raced a lot of other shee w/ pipes. Even though I didn't set it up to drag. Most people see my shee go and they want to race. So far, I've beaten every shee in my area exept one w/ FMF sst's. We were dead even. There is 2 shees that I haven't raced and I think they'll beat me, but they have way more mods than I do. The shees that I've raced had : FMF golds, FMF gnarly, Trinity, Pro- curcuits, Bills, and there was nother guy that I only seen once. I guess he drag raced, his pipes looked like Bills headers, but the silencers were small and round like the Toomey. They didn't have any writing on them. He was a close race though. I only took him by 1/2 bike length w/ 3 runs at 500'. Anyways, I'm rambling on. I'd suggest them to anyone who doesn't ride the dunes. They are a great all around riding/racing pipe. The best part is working on the engine is a breeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBlaster01. Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 From 5000 to 8500 RPM by the chrts it looks like the Duncan(Paul Turner) beats the Toomey.. thats the way it looks to me anyways.Come on guys I need more votes right now I am leaning towards the Paul Turner's mids myself 2nd favourite is the 916 the only thing is that I think the DMC's Dyno is BS on their website they say the Alien and the 916 have the exact same HP and torque the dyno charts for HP and Torque for the 2 pipes are identical! :roll: The 916 and Aliens are nearly the same. The only thing that has changed is the silencer design. They are the same "pipes" diffrent style silencers. The Aliens supposidly produce a bit more top end because of the "more straight" silencer set up, the 916 have a s/z bend silencer "tube." I was going to get the 916, but I had a lot of trouble finding them So I went with the Aliens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
