My son is wanting to get a set of pipes for his Banshee and is wanting to go with either CPI or Trinity. How does the performance, durability and fit compare? The son likes the looks of Trinity but I've read in this forum that their Raptor pipes fall apart...is this true with the Banshee pipes as well? I don't know much about Banshee's and want to help steer him in the right direction.

I have the toomey pipes, and the fit and finish and overall quality is excellent. But, I am thinking of getting a set of cpi pipes. I understand that they make the most power, and quite a bit over other pipes.

From what I have read the trinity pipes power output is very similar to the toomey. I dont know anything about the quality of the pipe.

If it were me, I would go with cpi or toomey.

one of friends has a 02 shee w/toomeys & my other friend has cpi pipes
bothhave k&n clamp ons + vforce reed cages
toomey 280 mains & cpi 300 mains
other than that stock
the cpi bike pulls away by 3-4 bikes in a drag race
even if they switch bikes

 

fit & finish is great on both
i know i installed them

 

cpi is hands down the greatest in-frame pipe available....
just dont wear shorts if you like to hug the tank

 

correction yamaha, CPI OR Grand river racing pipes are the best hands down! CPI's are easier to get tho. Id run either of these two (they produce the same amount of HP). The CPI's have a tendency to break from time to time of the mounting locations, but ive only seen it happen to two sets (out of 100). If your going out of frame drag pipes then you'll have a problem breaking the mounting tabs, but if your running inframes you should be fine. You'll be happy with them.

 

my friend is a yamaha mechanic and races banshees(2) and he uses cpi pipes. I heard him telling one of my other friends to get them when they were asking about pipes.

Harry told me that his pipe would run pretty even with Toomies in stock form, but with mods the Trininty would walk away. I've kinda been leaning towards the CPI myself for I know the drag only style is unmatchable and I'm sure that some of the technology has been passed over to the in frame version. Thanks for your responses.

I'm not a 2-stroke guy, but around here everyone seems to run the CPIs On the built Banshees. So for what it's worth I would probably go with the CPI.
