Alot of people say T5's have the most top-end. I heard Fatty's are more "all around" than the T5's. I also heard the T5's are one of the best sounding pipes. Also I heard the CT Racing pipes are similar to T5's and Fattys.

Go for the Fatty's. The Fattys and the t-5's are very similar and I doubt there is a difference in performance. Price and looks on the other hand are very different. If you like the chrome that looks good for awhile, go for the t-5 (it still wont last forever) But the price difference is huge. I bought a Banshee power package that had the fatty's, reed spacer, boyesen reeds, and a boost bottle for $575. Much cheaper than the t-5s alone. For bang for the buck the Fattys are en excellent choice.

I have ridden both and I purchased the T-5's. I e-mailed Toomey regarding dyno testing of their pipes and they sent me the part numbers for the reeds, plugs, and a couple of helpful inexpensive mods. T-5's with Toomey jet kit and needles, air box vents, NGK B9EV plugs, Boyesen 645 reeds, shave head .030, and advance timing 6 degrees. I have less than $600 in everything and I can outrun Banshees with alot more money spent on them. (ie: cool head, trinity intake, after market carbs, and Fatty's)
