Note: Sold as a Pair. Does Not Qualify for Free Shipping.
Why You Need This: Mufflers look like Swiss cheese? Yes, finding an original pair of mufflers in good shape for a CB450 is tough. So we found these mufflers as clean replacements for the rust prone factory originals. While not an exact reproduction of the Honda CB450/CB500T mufflers, they look period correct for a stock style appearance, and fit very well. This is a much cheaper alternative to aftermarket systems and will optimize engine performance over open pipes. They sound great and give your motorcycle a little more gusto.
Important: Choose the mufflers based on your model. CB360's use a slightly up-swept muffler that are left and right specific, while CB350's and CB450's will use a straight pipe that is symmetrical left and right. The CB360 mufflers will not fit on the CB350 or CB450.
Installation Tip: Remove the stock muffler clamp, then apply a light coat of anti-seize to the pipe for easy removal later. If you’re refreshing the whole exhaust, replace the copper exhaust gaskets between the header and cylinder on your CB450 / CB500T for a better seal. Note that the OEM graphite exhaust pipe gaskets will not fit these mufflers as their inside diameter is smaller than the factory muffler to pipe joint. A proven workaround is making a thin, crushable gasket from 2 – 3 layers of aluminum cut from a soda can. Cut a panel from the can, wrap it around the exhaust pipe, and secure it with one or two zip ties. Slide the muffler over the soda-can sleeve, clip the zip ties, and complete the installation. For the most secure connection and leak-free performance, finish with our stainless steel T-bolt clamps.
