Thanks for the kind welcome guys. I ride a 04 Banshee and you guys are a lot nicer and a hell of a lot more helpful than the majority of the member of Banshee HQ. We're looking for a FTZ Pipe because my Brother runs one on his 89 TRX-250R and his bike runs REALLY strong with the FTZ Pipe even down low. He's tried the FMF Fatty and a few others and none of them have been near the pipe the FTZ has been. So I figured the FTZ Super Fat in frame setup would be a choice for the LT especially having the Power Valve and the Cylinder Setup he's going with.

He's using a 86 RM250 Cylinder (w/ the LT500 Intake) and he's sending it off to Kustom Kraft and their cut making it a 265cc Big Bore. Plus it will be running a Aggressive Trail/Dune Port, BIG V3 Reed Cage, 38mm Mikuni TM Carburetor with Fuel Induction System, and K7N Pod with Outerwear's Pre-Filter so he will be moving a lot of fuel/air and that will require a big pipe for maximum efficiency and a power band that pulls hard from the bottom to top with a nice power curve.

I've found that just about all your 2-stroke trail/recreational rider motors perform best if you load them up with the small mods that help throttle response and bottom end (like carburetor air foils, indexed spark plugs, reed cage spacer, power-jet, ect ), set them up to run the highest compression possible for the fuel you'll be using, port the cylinder for the power to come on low and compliment that with a good size flat slide carburetor (38mm in this case) and a high rev pipe. This way your bike will smoke the 4-Strokes in a straight line and still be a awesome woods bike.

I haven't seen the Shearer pipe or SCP Pipe for the LT. Do they have a huge expansion chamber like the FTZ has. If you guys don't mind posting pictures of other pipe options that are comparable to the FTZ Pipe I would appreciate it.
