Default Pipes for banshee???????

Just wondering what kind of pipes eveyone would recomend. Im one of the guys that spends more time on 2 wheels than 4. My mods are listed below. Im thinking a pipe with a little bit more low end than anything else. Ive been turned towards the fmf fattys. I do a lot of trail riding and a little sand here and there.

I would also agree with FMF Fattys for you. I have FMF Gnarlys which are supposed to be a great trail pipe. My experience with the Gnarlys is that they will start the hit at a little lower range than the Fattys but that they also sign off a little sooner. I would like to swap my Gnarlys for a set of Fattys since 100 % of my Banshee riding is in the big dunes and I would just like a little more on top.

I didnt mention that i ride slow wheelies the most. Would it bring the powerband into the 5-10 mph range or would it be higher than that? Im hoping a little higher than that. I also am 1 tooth down in the front.

For slow wheelies on a Banshee I would definetly rec'm a wheelie bar, or else just throw in the towel and get yourself a Honda 400EX the easiest wheelie machine of all time IMO. No kidding now, the Gnarly will not make slow wheelies easier, it hits earlier but when it does it comes on much too hard to stay in control on only two wheels. I went with plus 4 in swing arm just to keep front end down in sand hills.

Yea i thought about gettin a 400ex, i love my banshee and all but i love doing wheelies as well. This just isnt the machine for doing the stunts i like. Ill have it make due for now until i can afford a 400ex or a z400.
