thats bad.. :-( but you can also use a modified cr 500 pipe and muffler to the k5- engine . my bike runs great with this combination... i took a used stock pipe and a new pro circuit 304 muffler.

Thats pretty much what a Service Honda pipe for a KX500 is........they take CR500 pipes and weld on KX500 flanges on them.
RKPerformance:
do you just cut the front of the kx500 pipe off and weld it on to the cr pipe and call it a day? Will the cr500 silencer mount up without a bunch of pounding and mount changes??
USMC 500:
Thats it.....cut off the front of a K5 pipe, weld it to a C5 pipe and mount it..send to chrome if you are worried about asthetics......not sure on the silencer though.

thats exactly what i´ve also done... :-)
i cut off the flange off an old damaged 250 pipe, milled it to the right inner size. than cut the pipe for little change in layout, cause i dont wanted to make a big dent for the coolant elbow. less dents means more expansion chamber = more power :-D
but i decided first to try it with an cheap old stock cr500 pipe, before buying an expensive new one ... :-D power delivery is better that i thought before :-D
