It seems to run pretty good to me but a haven't ridden CR500 before so I don't know if it runs differently. From what I have gathered redirecting the pipe doesn't affect too much as long as you don't change the length or volume of the chamber. The pipe that is on it is an FMF and it's pretty beat up, but I have an old power pro pipe that I am going to try and put on it maybe with a straighter flow and if it turns out good I might have a nice finnish put on it.
I see your intake is as custom as mine...nice. |
