  • UPDATE- After just a few months with this exhaust, the entire inside of the muffler is COVERED in rust, so I had to uninstall it. Unfortunately, this seems to be a recurring issue with this particular exhaust because it’s made from mild steel and not stainless steel. Vance & Hines said that they’re getting with their engineering team to see if they can also coat the inside of the pipe to prevent this issue in the future. Until then, I unfortunately can’t recommend this exhaust anymore.

    -------------------------------------------------
    Introducing the new Vance & Hines exhaust for the Honda CL500/SCL500 scrambler!! For lots of us, the stock CL500 exhaust is a big pain point of the bike. It doesn't sound terrible, albeit pretty quiet, but most would agree it's just downright UGLY!
    Well, Vance and Hines heard our cries and developed their new SCL500 Hi-Ouput Slip-On muffler and solved all of our problems! This exhaust looks SO much better than the stock "suitcase", sounds absolutely incredible, and weighs only about HALF of what the OEM muffler weighs. In my eyes, it's an absolute MUST for anyone with a new Honda CL500/SCL500 scrambler

    When tinkering around or changing an exhaust on any modern motorcycle 🏍️ you want to let the bike idle for 10-15min before reving or riding. This allows the ECM computer to get used to the air and fuel and to the exhaust itself. I did this when I changed my stock exhaust on my 2022 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 to a Red Rooster exhaust. Great video. Great sounding V&H. God bless 🙏

    You mentioned that you would have preferred a lower exhaust. The setup on your bike is intended to make it look like the Scramblers of old, but the disadvantage is the same now as it was then. It's a hot little booger right next to your right leg! Looks super cool but is a hot pain in the ass (literally) in the real world. I prefer the exhaust setup on the CB500F, but I prefer the layout (especially the seat) on your Scrambler. So...the ultimate would be a mosh of those two bikes! :)

    Do what I did with one of my bikes. I used a cardboard tube cut to the angles I needed and took it to a muffler shop, to make that 2 foot pipe with the bends I needed. They had the correct size pipe. Made the bends to match my mock up pipe, and they had an expanding tool they opened up the end to my measurements, I needed to attach to the head pipe. I fabbed up a top mounting bracket that my buddy welded to the pipe. Then I bought a universal aluminum SuperTrapp muffler to fit my pipe. looks and sounds great.

    I really think the design of the muffler and the reason why the bottom is bigger is due to the fact it's a stress point because the fact that it goes all the way up it and the weight of it can easily snap it so I believe it strengthen the point in the exhaust to prevent it from snapping from the vibration and bumps.

    • @jmackinjersey1
      @jmackinjersey1 Год назад +3

      There are enough connection points on the stock unit so that there isn't going to be any undue stress on the lower portion of the pipe.
      Factory mufflers are designed to make the bike as quiet and have less heat radiate off of them, as well as emissions and fuel economy all mixed in. This is why they are the way they are, and it is one of, if not the first mod motorcycle owners make.
