Yamaha Banshee Toomey T5 vs T6

This is my first video so please excuse the garbage editing.
Today I tested Toomey Racing T5 and T6 pipes for the Yamaha Banshee. The bike is a stock cylinder, ported, 4 mil stroker with Keihin 35mm PWK air Stryker carbs. I did many runs using a Tiny Tach to monitor peak RPM as well as the Drag GPS unit to track telemetry data. Overall consensus is that the pipes perform darn near the same in real world riding and is not worth buying the 2nd set of Toomey Pipes to match your application. You might see small differences on a dyno in a controlled environment but in actual real world riding the difference was not enough when factoring in rider weight, gearing, wind drag etc.
I did the best I could to get accurate results with the tools I have.

In 1990 for my 16th birthday, my dad bought me a 1989 Banshee. I have LOVED these quads ever since! Should add an edit note. Commiefornia is why we don't have these nice machines being produced anymore...lol

[@a_drewski]

Yup wouldn’t doubt it. Everyone still loves a banshee though!

[@insayne03]

What a ripper bud! Great video love to see these types of comparisons.

[@MotoKid0017]

Yeah the difference was negligible at best, either way that thing rips. Excellent head to head testing.

[@angiepet232]

Awesome video Dude! I have a stroked and ported Banshee with T6 pipes and was if T5's would make a big difference. Thanks!

[@a_drewski]

Glad I could help! Still on the search for some CPI's to try next.

[@user-iu4se2ps7d]

Sick sounding quads

[@it426]

Great video man, thank you! Can I ask your elevation and your main and pilot jets at the time of the video? Will be watching for more!

[@a_drewski]

Sea level with 38 pilot and maybe a 160 main. I’m running 35mm air strikers with oxygenated race gas so it might be a little different for you.

[@andyb9994]

I have Toomeys not sure if 5's or 6 's tho, I haven't rode the Banshee in years....I know they sound awesome tho...I will have to look today..

[@2_StrokeGarage]

That's a nice one🤘🤘. What bar you have on ?

[@a_drewski]

Pro Taper CR High I’m pretty sure

[@carminegetz4481]

You should do stand up Jetski vids

[@a_drewski]

I can definitely do that! I have plenty of skis around the shop.

[@iUNeIV]

Super video GG

[@gilbertgonzalez2167]

I always felt like there was no real difference between the T5s and TR6s aside from the T5s having a little more of a crisp sound I found a guy selling a set of TR6s I can’t wait to see how they compare to my T3s

[@a_drewski]

Always heard the t3’s were good too 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@gilbertgonzalez2167]

@@a_drewski the T3s are good but they’re made for J arm banshees mine is a regular a arm banshee and the head pipes hit the upper a arm bolts

[@nicksmith4660]

max rpm wont change. thats determined by your cdi... the rpm is based on where the power curve in relation to the rpm

[@a_drewski]

There is no rev limiter on a banshee. Please clarify what you mean by “the power curve in relation to the rpm.” Port timing and pipe dimensions have the biggest effect on overall rev range.

[@macpac3803]

I though the t6's sounded better but i like the race sked crotch rocket sound

[@a_drewski]

The t6’s had some hours on the muffler packing. The t5’s were brand new

[@JL-wv2ou]

Just bought my first banshee (04) and it came with t6's , been wondering whats the first mods or parts I should buy. Bought a Urmosi Throttle though. Great quad btw!

[@a_drewski]

Easiest and cheapest mods are to get a billet head to increase compression, pipes, and pod filters. Do the TORS delete on the carbs, they are more than plenty for a 350.

[@a_drewski]

@@Alex-ux8ni a timing plate would get you a lot more power for about 1/6th the money.

[@jacobambriz366]

[@Jasonsito]

They both solid pipes but T5’s can support bigger mods like porting, bigger bore, stroked motors The T6’S choke it up when you include those mods

[@a_drewski]

This is ported, stroked, bigger carbs, and a bigger bore.

[@AllMelodyy]

@@a_drewski seems like everyone says what you said originally and they hate the t6s and they don’t run good on a modded bike. This video is literally proving to be no difference really on the toomeys. If you want a drag build cpi or shearers are the way to go though for sure.

[@anthonybeilman7092]

T5 for ported, big bore, stuff like that. T6 for stock bikes. That's what I've been told.

[@a_drewski]

Thanks for watching the video and giving your real world experience with both pipes 🙏🏼

[@anthonybeilman7092]

@Andrew Lojewski you got it man. I've always loved the way the toomey pipes sounded. That bike sounds real good.

[@Davidwhat]

why don't you move the throttle over so it lines up, where it should.

[@a_drewski]

I have an oversized master cylinder and the bike came with the extended billet thumb throttle. It’s as far over as it can go without cutting it

[@onlysnaps69]

@@a_drewski put the throttle on the left and the master on the right

[@angrybadger8136]

Where's your fenders at dude?

[@a_drewski]

I lost them from going so fast dude.

[@anthonybaker7918]

1100 for toomeys is insane to me. But maybe I’m just cheap

[@a_drewski]

Shearer’s are almost $1400. Plenty of people buying them so that’s just the going rate nowadays.

[@josephsalazar5206]

What nerf bars are those

[@a_drewski]

Alba I think

[@treeassassin]

I think its worth it not to melt them pants on the 6s.

[@a_drewski]

No doubt, melted my boots many times on them lol

[@troylawless1781]

Unhook the rev limiter let it open on up

[@a_drewski]

Let us know how it’s done 👍🏼

your a arms are on backwards

[@a_drewski]

I prefer to install them according to the manufacturers recommendation, just like they are in the video.

[@buckchurch1551]

@@a_drewski what brand?

[@ItsJokerZz]

what are you using to capture speed and temps like that?

[@a_drewski]

Dragy App for timing. Not sure what temps you’re referring to
