Buildup has begun! Sugeestions on pipes?

I recently got a banshee that is more or less stock. Only the baffles were taken out of the stock silencers. I did a compression test and got 120psi on each cylinder. Since that checked out, I have started to look for parts.

 

I purchased a 28mm PWK kit. Now I am looking to get a set of pipes, v force 3's, and an air cleaner setup. This bike will have to do everything from woods, and stream crossings (some mud, but I wont be looking for mudholes to play in).

 

I am looking to maintain some type of lowend, but still need to be able to race my buddies from time to time. I guess I am looking for a do it all kind of bike.

 

I am considering some FMF's, Pro Circuit's and Toomey pipes.

 

Who also rides this type of terrain and what setup would you suggest?

heres a few suggestions. you're probably going to be looking for a pipe that makes mostly low to mid range power. you can try pt mids, dmc 916 or aliens, and FMF's . pro circuits and toomeys are also good choices but thier power is based more on mid range . these are all good pipes. i would try to avoid the 2 into 1 pipes. i mostly run on fire roads and in gravel pits. i try to avoid mud as much as possible. enjoy your build up!

sounds like you do the same riding that i do, heres my setup, 2 into 1 carb, toomey t5's, timing advanced +5, cool head with 19cc domes, reeds, and a proflow adapter to run K&N filter in stock airbox, its also ported (trail/play port), and also cutting the shift star helps a lot on easier shifting

 

Ya lost me on the last one...whats a shift star?

sounds like where you ride is similar to me. i have fmf sst's and i like them. the low end is better than stock, and the pull all the way through, hitting fairly hard in the midrange.(noticably harder than fatties).

milling the head and advancing the timing gave me more bottom end and smoothed out the hit a little. with the timing i didnt really notice a difference in top end power but the shaved head gained from bottom to top.

if i were to buy pipes, they would be either dmc 916s, or paul turner mids, but PTs are expensive so i would lean towards the 916s

It wont kill your top-end power totally but it will affect it, if your looking for a good all around pipe, like some low-end, mid-range, an still an ok top-end power delivery, you should look into FMF Fatty's or SST's they are good all around pipes as my best friend has them on his shee an they have decent low end an still pull up through the top-end, if your wanting a little less low end an want a harder hitting top-end then you should look into toomey T-5's.

I am looking at the Fattys and a set of pro circuits right now. I have never used anything other than FMF's in the past, but Im not opposed to change. Thanks for the help.

 

 

I would love to hear from someone that uses the 28MM pwk's

I've run the FMF Fatty's, Moto FAST 2 into 1 and the Pro Circuits with a setup very similar to yours. I'd have to say I perfer the Pro Circuits over the fatty's and 2 into 1. I typically ride trails, hill climbs, and the occassional drag race against my brother and the Pro Circuits fit my riding style the best.

 

I have since switched over to Shearers but that was to get the most out of my 4mil with a dune port. I'll let you know how that works out once I put the bike back together.

if you decide on fmf, i would go with the sst's. i may be biased, but i think they hit harder.

my friend (blackandyellowshee on here) who has fatties said the same thing when we both only had pipes and k&n.

See I have havnt heard anything bad about pro-circuit but if your wanting a useable pipe for just all around riding conditions with a little top-end I would go with the FMF Fatty's, I have heard the pro-circuits are more torquier and pull harder than the FMF Fatty's , the pro circuits are close to the FMF SST's but compared to Toomey T-5's the T-5's hit harder an pull harder up top. They are all really close in performance, but for me an my riding style the T-5's suit me better, with what kind of discription you gave us I would recomend the Fatty's or SST's.

Pro circuits, good torque and nice midrange pull.
