This Exhaust Is EXACTLY What The Honda SCL500 Needed!

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.
BUT with that said, I’ve since found another great exhaust made by Coffman’s, swapped to that, and absolutely love it. It has better build quality, more benefits, and costs $100 less. You can check out the install/review of that exhaust here!- • Is This New SCL500 Exh...
-------------------------------------------------
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

That Vance & Hines sounds like the stock Honda Scramblers of the late 60's. Awesome.

I love the sound of the new exhaust. I was kinda sad to see the old one go due to the chrome on it, since it reminded me of the CL's from the 1960's/70's. (But the new exhaust looks sharp anyway.)

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 🙏

That exhaust looks and sounds good 👍 Another option for a low system would be to make or buy a short midpipe using a suitable bend to fit with a shorty tailpipe onto your original header. There is a cl500 forumn now and already somene has figured out how to improve the front suspension.

I just purchased my first bike and went with the SCL500! The only thing I don’t love about it is the stainless heat shield. However, in lieu of replacing it with a slip on, I want to paint the heat shield with a high heat paint or bake on enamel. Do you see any issues with this?

@MrPage62 11 ай бұрын

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! :)

Your video convinced me to buy the V&H exhaust for my CL500. I am having exactly the same issues as you, the exhaust is scratched, the heat shield screws are missing and there is some kind of liquid coming from the joint. I am more concerned about the leak. Did you manage to find out the cause of the leak and fixed it?

I mean i love that you can customize bikes fairly easy in a lot of ways to persoanlize it to your liking, but i also find many stock parts to be really cool, especially the look and sound of the stock exhausts of the Rebels as well as the new CL Models, really like the big big chunky exhaust/Muffler with the chrome/silver cover/shield on top. But i also think the V&H Exhaust you got on there is looking pretty damn good.

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 Жыл бұрын

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.

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.
