t5 vs t6


Recommended Posts

Look at it this way. If you own your shee for a few seasons, chances are its gonna get ported. Once the top end goes and you get yer tailed whipped in a few drags with fellas with some porting your gonna want to get it ported, believe me. I have no experience with T-6's but my 99 has T-5s and is basically stock. It runs really strong. When the top end goes again its gonna get ported. And believe me, when I bought it new in 99 I said "nah, I dont need pipes or that other 'fancy' c crap, I'm fine with just the pleasure of owning a Banshee". 2 PORTED Banshees later with a decent amount of mods I'm thinking of whats gonna be next.

I have had both o3 with t6s and have now a 97 with t5s exact same mods, the t6 banshee was really crisp low end with decent top end and the t5 banshee is not the greatest down low but, i know top end would walk away from t6s on my bikes. Not sure what the difference is.

i run the t6's woods port .20 over cool head +4 timing v3's k&n and it pulls real hard i ride tight woods trails and some wide open areas.as for in the tight stuff i think the power is unreal,dont know if alot more power would help but with my mods the t6's work great.

The few I know that got the T-6's dropped them like they were hot.. I was considering getting them untill I was told by many they didn't perform that well. So I went from T-5's directly to CPI :biggrin: The T-5 was a great pipe and I would recomend them.. And don't say your not gonna eventually get that thing ported, we all said that at one time or another.. :biggrin:

If you end up NEEDING to get t5's, you can just sell your t6 pipes when the time comes. then buy some used t5s. That's what i did. I got my t5's for like $275 shipped from someone on hq. Pipes were in pretty decent condition too. If you arent going for a show bike, id get a used set of pipes.

 

I cant comment on my t6 pipes though. My bike came with them when i bought them and i have nothing to compare it too. the t6 pipes sounded freakin awesome though :)

 

Only reason i went with t5's is because i want an all around pipe and my port job guy(flotek) decided it would be best for me.
