CBR500 Exhaust on the 250?

8746 Views 12 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  sran6333
I've been looking for an exhaust upgrade that can accomplish the following:

1) Reduce weight
2) Improve tone without being obnoxiously loud
3) Provide a catalytic converter to still keep emissions (somewhat) in check

Does anyone know if the stock CBR500R exhaust would meet these objectives? And would it fit?

I've read that Akrapovic offers a few slip-ons that have a space for their optional catalytic converter, but was thinking that picking up a 500's stock exhaust might be cheaper (given that some of those riders are going to be looking to replace theirs with aftermarket...)

Apologies if this question has already been asked but didn't see it in any of my searches.

I bought a Musarri slip-on for $199AUD delivered. Isn't obnoxiously loud, give it more of a 2-stroke dirt bike sound and I love it. Not cat though. I don't think many slip-ons have a cat in them.
