Pipes are more than just (the most horsepower) A pipe is designed to tune the engine to obtain peak volumetric effieciency at a certain rpm range. A low end pipe is designed to give this at low rpm while a high rev is made to achive this at high rpm. I would suggest a pipe that suits your needs rather than the one that MAKES THE MOST POWER, Usually the ones that advertise WE MAKE THE MOST POWER are talking peak power, I would rather have a pipe with a linear power curve than one that makes little power and all of a sudden shoots up. I have tried pro curcuits and they are good but my favorite Banshee pipe is paul turners mid range, They make good power down low (more than stock) and have huge gains in the mid and top end, They are easy to keep in the power and make my machine alot faster and alot more fun. Post what kind of riding you do and i am sure you will get alot better info, because we can tell you what works where and how well.

the CPI inframe pipes are the only way to go. if you like drag racing get the drag pipes. the cpi's make alot more power than any other pipe.

I have FMF pipes now, but if I was buying new pipes, they would the CPI inframes like dsmike stated. Second choice would be Toomeys.

the CPI's pipes are worth the change. i dynoed my bike with toomeys and then with cpi's it was a 7hp gain. i can send you the dyno sheet if you want.

I recomend Toomey T-5 however when I fist bought my bike before the mods, I raced a Banshee with FMF pipes up comp hill and smoked him like 4 times in a row and I was completly stock at the time, so it's more about the ridder than the pipes, however some pipes do put out more peek power than others, however I think it comes down to preference and what fits your needs.

When you say CPI is worth the change, what kind of change are you talking about? And I would like to see the dyno if you dont mind.
THANKS FOR THE INFO!!!
