for woods and mud toomeys r not the best choice i would try paul turner mid range pipes or lrd fully adjustable pipes-as for the cool head you don't need it but more compression (if u ran smaller domes than the stock)would add bottom end wich is the kind of power it sounds to me like your looking for-jack

Definitely the Toomeys! They are by far the best sounding pipes you can put on a Banshee. Wish my Raptor sounded that good.

Toomeys are overprced. Look at some FMF's they are a good deal and give plenty of power. The cool head is a waste. Shave your stock head .035 and youll be rippin!

I agree with 2hardtoholdon recogmendations. Based on the type of riding you noted, Toomey's are "not" the best pipe for you. From what i've read their more of a mid/top end pipe. You might be able to go with a 2 into 1 pipe set-up based on your application.

Toomey's T-5's are a great "Thrill" pipe ..going in a straight line..But slow down and turn a corner good luck trying to find the "sweetspot" again ...you will be sitting there watching those guys with the other pipes blow you away , waiting for your powerband to come back on.. for woods riding I would say look for the pipe with the smoothest low/mid power delivery . Because a pipe with a big hit will send you places you never wanted to go.
