Did the CR500 pipe need to be modified much to fit? Im on an extremely tight budget and may go this route on my project.

Have made a new piece that goes into the cilinder and relocated the fist section.
And the end piece that goes into the mufler is shortend.
Making the Exhaust to fit is a pain inthe ass work to do. But it can be done. :-D

My Exhaust is a new cr500 unit from RINO Racing. For what i've hurt they are made by SPES Exhaust. Used a Rino on my
Rmz250 and My brother has one on his RM125 and my uncle on his K5.

In this photo, the solution is easy to see. Just add about 3 inches. I DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANY WORK ON THIS FRAME No matter what path you take you still have to cut somewhere and then weld it back.
