FMF SST......

I run them too. They seem to do good on my banshee. It is the only set of pipes that I have owned. I need to have a sparkarrested silencer and FMF and PC are the only ones that really make one.

 

Toomey has there hush kit or the sparky but 80 bucks a pice on top of every thing. They should just come with it.

On my three shees I have CPI's on a ported 94, T-5's on a stock 99 and SST's on a ported 02. THe SST's are my least favorite of the three. Not a bad pipe, I just like the way the T-5's and CPI's perform and sound better.

I had SSTs on my 2002, and they were decnt. FMFs are usally trail pipes, and the SSTs hit a little later in the powerband which I wasn't crazy about. I like the Gnarleys beter for trails, they hit nice and low, the SSTs arent bad though, I think FMF tried to gear them towards more open trails.

Only problem I have wit em is the right side fits tight against the water pump outlet, havent had a burst hose or overheated yet cuz of it. It is so close to the pump/hose connection that I cannot gain any clearance without kinking the hose. Anyone else??? Other than that I cant bitch but I have nothing else to compare them to. My shee was stock and I bought SST's cause a buddy had them on his CR250 and said he loved it. This was pre-BansheeHQ on my part; now I would get a different pipe.

The hose is "supposed" to be routed on the other side of the frame (away from the pipes)

I debated between the SST's and the Gnarly's. I went with the latter because all I do is tight trail type riding. I also have the quiet pipes so I won't get thrown outta the state parks, or piss my neighbors off will riding down the street to access the swamps. I have no complaints.
