Hey Guys,

Some of you may have read a previous post of mine asking about Banshee pipes.

Anyway whether you did or didn't, I found out what the ones I was looking at are. On the pipe they say FMF Gold Series, and then they have like a Signature after that engraved into the pipe. I can't make out what the name is though.

Well the pipes are in pretty good shape, but the finish isn't so hot...I can live with that though. There are a few small dents, but nothing big except for one section that looks like it has some weld or something on it. I'm sure it doesn't help things, but I don't imagine it would hurt too much because the pipe seems to be pretty much the same shape as the other one in that section.

Anyway, the guy told me I could have them for $50, then I told him $40, and he agreed to $45. Do you think that it is worth it? As long as they don't HURT top end I can deal with them. I'm mainly looking for low end - midrange increase though.

Please tell me anything you can about this because it's all pretty foreign to me.

Thanks for the opinions.

-Josh

If you are still running the stock pipes right now, I say go for it.

45.00 is not bad at all for performance, even if it doesn't look good. A dent in a two stroke pipe will cause a loss of power on any brand pipe. As long as it has been repaired, I don't see a problem.

Thanks KNOWSALOT...do you have any info on the pipes, or know of a website where I can find some. Like I said, they say "FMF Gold Series" and they have some sort of signature next to that...I cannot make out the name.

Thanks.
