I think so. any kind of 89-2001 cr500 u can use ... on my '93-frahme it was easy to assemble the cr500 muffler without any major problems. I had to modify only the connection to the pipe.
here you see before and after modifying...

Whelp, I picked up a cr500 piper and whacked the mouth off of it and started to see how this bad boy was going to fit in the ol kx250 steelie. I dont know how its going to happen without some major pipe bending/denting etc. Im wondering if the PO didnt put this motor in there in a different way and that is why he had a yz250 pipe and kx250 silencer on it. A 500 pipe and silencer dont appear to be useable???? Unless someone knows how to make a super custom pipe work??????

So, your using a CR500 pipe for the part that comes out of the head and your using a KX500 pipe for the expansion part?

if you able to read, look a former post of me here in the thread :wink:,
its simple to install a cr500 exhaust to the kx500 . or sea it on my website, but watch out, the cuts in the pipe, that i made, are only because i wouldnt make a dent to the inside of the pipe for the water elbow. the stock-honda-pipe has thicker walls, as aftermarket-pipes, so is denting on it a hard work.
you can also try to turn the elbow upside down and using the water-hose like on the service-kawasaki´s . then you need no denting the pipe and only making the right fitting to the cylinder... 8-) you can mashine an adapter that sticks in honda -pipe and kx-cylinder or you weld on the right flange ...
