ATV Sport Banshee Pipe Shootout (UPDATED)
#1
#2
Not sure, but I know they mentioned that they were not going for the highest peak power, but rather the best Horespower curve. They said it is not an actual Power shootout.
But I agree with you...only 4hp up top...what gives? God, you look at some of the other pipes and they were under 2hp...Hard to believe judging by the price.

I agree Josh. If they were working towards a broader power curve, then they missed the mark. Did you notice that only a few pipes had as much mid range as the stock pipes?
One of those pipes that was below (some as much as 5+ hp) the stock Banshee curve until very top end would get spanked in a drag by a stock Banshee! I wish they would have ran-em without a lid and jetting way UP accordingly. Power would have picked up as well.
PS - We have dyno charts available that proves the Banshee picks up over 4 hp with the snorkle removed and jetted up.

<< Could somebody please post the results of this "shootout". Sounds interesting >>
I will post later....if someone does'nt beat me too it.
<< Why don't mags test, the way we modd the machines. Not the way they think we should >>
Call those pipe manufacturers and 3/4 will give you recommended jetting specs for no LID!!!!
And actually.....we still don't know which pipe is the best for no lid (assuming the lid was on for testing) and jetted up....the pipes that done well in plugged up configuration may not be worth squat when more airflow is introduced. HA!

Sorry guys....I have'nt been home for a while....I will stop by this evening and get the mag and post tomorrow.
Wyo....to be honest with you, I did'nt pay attention to the issue date. The cover has the Z400 all over it and says ZESTY Z400. It says Banshee pipe shootout and steering stabilizer shootout on it too. The pipe shootout is near the front of the book....and the wording says the only mod was a pro-flo foam filter....so the lid was on (HP #'s way down).
