This is the deal...I have a bone stock 2000 Banshee right now, but I have big plans for it. I am going to have it ported by Rudy at Port Magic Racing just enough so it can still run on pump gas. I'm putting on a Pro Design pro flo with a K&N filter and their intake manifold, along with V-Force reeds. My question is what pipes do I want to go with? I've narrowed it down to the LRD or the Toomey's. I don't have any experience with either one so I'm in the dark here. Can anybody help me? I want good midrange with a smokin top end but not a useless bottom end. ( Doesn't everybody!! ) P.S. Does this sound like a good setup without lossing reliability? THANX FOR ANY HELP....keep it rubber side down!

 

Well, I must say that you have brought a difficult decision upon yourself. Both very good choices and well known pipes. I personally have the LRD on my 400 and just love it but not really sure about there pipes on the Banshee (we are talking 2 totally different machines). I will say the people at LRD are very nice and helpful. But, without knowing how they are and seen the Toomey's in action, I would say the Toomey's. That's a tough decision man!! Good luck and let us know which one you chose. later

 

I had LRDs on an otherwise stock banshee. They made a huge improvement in the power, especially from mid to top. I've been told that with mods, they work even better.

I read on this message board sometime back, that they are the next best thing to out-of-frame drag pipes when it comes to high end power.

I also had a time with some jetting, and the fine folks at LRD ended up sending me 4 different sets of jets, so that I'd be sure and have the correct jets! They even sent them express delivery.

 

RippinShee,

LET ME SAY THAT YOU HAVE MADE THE WRIGHT WITH PORT MAGIC. I HAVE JUST HAD A 370 LONG ROD DONE BY RUDY. I HAD FMF AND RUDY TOTLED ME THAT THE TOOMEYS WHERE THE HOT SETUP WITH HIS PORTING. SO I GOT A PAIR, MAN WHAT DIRRENT. I LOVE MY 370 LONG ROD AND RUDY IS THE MAN!! PORT MAGIC RULES!!!

 

I have had Toomey,FMF, and I know run LRD's. If I would have known that LRD pipes were this great I would have started with LRD's. CT racing did my motor work and those LRD pipes work really well with motor. They must work good togather, because that is the setup K&K atv have on their banshees and there rider was kicking a$$ till he got hurt. Just my opion though! LATER

 

i ride toomeys and boy they make a big improvement like sbishop said i also have a 370 kit and it is worth the $$$
