jayzx10r Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) Another "Which pipe is best" question. I'm looking to get better performance at Olds this winter and am looking for the best complimenting pipe for the mods i have. I don't mind giving up SOME bottom end, but I don't want an "only Top End" power band. I run K&Ns with Outerwears so I'd like an exhaust that is sock friendly. So I guess what I'm looking for is a duning friendly semi-drag pipe to run near sea level. So far, it seems that: Fattys: A good all around pipe...but I think I need a bit more focus. T-5s: What needs to be said? What is not to like? CPI: The ones' I'm leaning toward...but are there clearance and fitting issues with these pipes? Shearers: An all out top end only pipe with no bottom end. SSTs: Like my Fattys but with a bit more top end...kinda like T-5s. I'm not limiting myself to these chambers only so if you have experience with others...let me know!! The "magic wand" would give the the low end I have with the top end hit I don't have. :cool: Feel free to post pics of what you have/recommend...particularly under the seat shots showing the stinger run.

RadarRacing Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'm a flatlander but if you're a heavy rider on a heavy bike that will play into what you'll want too. T5's or CPIs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Ask Vey's (your porter) which pipes they recommend. Shearer is the best dune/drag pipe for inframe fitment....as far as clearing the air filters go. CPI is probably the best pipe for your application, but...they fit like shit around the filters. Trinity makes a damn fine exhaust as well...a notch better than T5s I'd say, but because they're stainless...you're gonna pay for 'em.

sandman Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I was in the same situation as you a couple of years ago. I had FMF Fattys & ride only sand. I went with Trinity stage 4 pipes (inframe) & have been very happy with the results. You will have to switch to a diff. needle at least I did as they tend to prefer a jjh needle. They are better quality, fit bettter, & won't rust while your down on the beach. They have just one side effect & that's price. They are definately a little more higher end pipe than the FMF's but not to the point to where that's all you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlotzBanshee Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I was going to say Trinity too before you guys beat me to it. That Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 i think your best bet would be CPI although like dave said they suck where they meet the filters, for what your trying to get they will be your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanYE west Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 I used to use PT Hi-Revs for my duner and I liked them better then my T-5's. No filter problems or burnt legs. I would say for the general duner the T-5/Trinity or PT Hi-Rev and if your looking for a lil more on the drag side probably the CPI's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNBRAD Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 All of the pipes mentioned will fit your performance needs pretty well. If your a stickler for quality as well as performance, then I would look toward the trinity. They have a great fit and finish second to none. Quality comes at a price though.

Dgrey Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Jay, I have T-5's and they are a really good pipe, they fit well, and work like they say they will work. I do think that the CPI is a better performing pipe though that comes at the cost of fit and finish. The reason that I can compare the two is because my best friend has CPI's and I have T-5's and he beats me every time (prior to my port of course) with those CPI's and we had the same mods. ANDDD he is a much newer rider than I am. I was very impressed with the CPI's performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 sorry im off topic, but where can i find the PT hi revs and do they have they same bends like the mids do? Bend is a little different then the PT mids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoostRocket Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) Bend is a little different then the PT mids. thanks man those are good looking pipes. do they still give some low end or is it like getting a set of shearers or cpi's?
