CB500 Exhaust

I'm looking for a new sporty exhaust can for my CB500, I've seen a couple around but wanted something a little louder and something that makes it sound like it has more grunt, possibly even the ability to take out the muffler...

Anyone else got a CB500 with a nice noisy exhaust or know of where to find some?

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Chris

Micron do them for the cb500.

Laser exhausts also.

Not sure what year your cb is but arrow might make a system which would probably cost a good bit of moeny but sound fantastic. Twins with race systems do sound fantastic in my opinion. I had an er5 with a remus system on. Mmmm...

There is a cb500 cup so if you google for that (perhaps there is a dedicated forum somewhere) and see what their recommendations are for a can/system.

The CB500 Club have a number of knowledgable people on it.

When I had mine I replaced the downpipes with stainless from M&P and replaced the silencer with a Remus Innovation alloy race can. If I remember rightly (it was some time ago!), I think the downpipes were about £100 and the can (with intermediate pipework - which I had to wait for) was about £250-£300 ish). It sounded lovely! Smile

I upjetted from the standard 120 to 122 and the bike ran sweet as a nut.

A warning if you decide to go for the Laser system, I think you may have to remove the centre stand to accommodate.

Whoever had the bike before me put the silver down pipes on... I keep cleaning em up back to silver but half an hour turns em bronze... lol. There's also a motad exhaust on there, it hardly makes any noise at all and most of the rev sound ends up coming from the engine... sounds a bit dull especially with the bloody 33bhp kit on there...

I'll have a look into those links, cheers guys!
