Pipe and Silencer

[crf250guy]

Hey guys,

Just picked up an '03 500f. It has some damage to the exhaust, so I am wondering... does anyone make an aftermarket setup for this, or should I stick with factory parts?

turbo al has made some cans, and the stock pipe came from jaws. other than that your going to have to have it custom buildt. where is the exhaust damaged? I have had good luck fixing mine with no preformance loss.

Its just a little screwed up where the pipe meets the silencer. I can probobly find someone to fix it up.

Thats actually pretty common, it can be fixed and fixing will be easier than find a new one.

congrats on your purchase and welcome to the forum. Lots of good people and good info here

Awesome... thanks for the info. After thinking about it for a while, I am probobly gonna have it repaired and ceramic coated. Parts seem to be rare for these things, so I want the exhaust to last a long time.

before you have it coated have them check the other end of the pipe where it meets the "y" pipe. mine has a hole there it wore so thin.....

just broke mine off couple weeks ago. welded it back together, then took a peice if another pipe, slightly larger, cut it in half and welded that over the pipe and to the can. seems pretty good and has held up for 5 rides.
