Default banshee pipes(toomey)

i put my pipes on over the weekend(toomey t5's) and today was my first ride. it was amazing seeing how much of a power increase i had. i am so happy with the toomey pipes, and the service is great. i am so happy with my purchase, i just thought that this might help anyone who might be thinking about pipes for there shee.

oh yea, the bike is rejetted and running almst perfecly.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] i vented my airbox and removed the snorkle too so i should be getten lots of air. i think from the plug color i may be a bit lean yet, but it was only 35 degrees out so i'm gonna wait untill summer(i won't be ridding much more in the cold weather) the low end isn't anything great, but its hard to tell because we still have some snow here.

i have one question tho for any of you running the t5's. my radiator hose is very close to my left pipe. i put the heat spring down, but it is still very close, is this bad? will it melt? thx for the help

I've only had one problem with my T5s. The brackets that bolts to the frame on the left expansion chamber broke. I could be mad but I landed a sick jump a little crooked and my knee hit it pretty hard. The pipe suffered less injury than my knee though. A little welding fixed 'er right up. Toomeys rule!!!!

I cant remember for sure, but I think I either turned my radiator hose around, or did something to it.

If I am remembering right, I think it was something that toomey reccommended in the directions.

well tthey recomend loosening the clamp and turning the bent part of the hose in towards the engine. i did this and slid the heat sheild down, but it is still very close to the pipe, and i don't want it to melt

well, all I can tell you is that I did what they reccommend, and it has been that way for 7 or 8 months without an issue.

It should be fine, as I recall mine is really close also. I need to dig the banshee out from behind all the other crap and get it out and ride.

Later
