If you’re searching for the perfect performance exhaust upgrade for the honda cb500x 2013-2023, you’ve landed in exactly the right place. At Max Torque Cans, we specialise in precision-engineered, high-quality exhausts built specifically for your machine — and this offering for the honda cb500x 2013-2023 is one of our most popular fitments. Whether you’re after a sharper exhaust note, a cleaner look under the tail, or simply want to replace a tired OEM silencer, this is the upgrade your CB500X deserves.

The honda cb500x 2013-2023 is a brilliantly capable adventure-touring middleweight — reliable, comfortable, and genuinely fun to ride. But like most factory setups, the standard exhaust leaves something to be desired in terms of sound, weight, and visual appeal. That’s where Max Torque Cans steps in.

What’s Included with Your Honda CB500X 2013-2023 Performance Exhaust

Every kit we supply for the honda cb500x 2013-2023 comes complete with everything you need for a clean, confident installation. There’s no hunting around for extra parts or missing hardware — it’s all in the box and ready to go. Here’s exactly what you’ll receive:

• 1 x Stainless 304 CNC Mandrel Bent Link Pipe — complete with centre stand attachment (available as an optional extra depending on your model variant)
• 1 x Stainless Exhaust Strap — a tough, corrosion-resistant strap to hold everything firmly in place
• 1 x Exhaust Strap Rubber — to cushion the mounting point and reduce vibration transfer

The stainless 304 link pipe is the backbone of this kit. CNC mandrel bending ensures smooth, consistent bends throughout — maintaining internal diameter and preventing the kinks or restrictions you’d find in lesser fabrications. This means better gas flow, better performance, and a longer service life compared to standard mild steel alternatives.

Fitment Details for the Honda CB500X 2013-2023

One of the standout advantages of this kit is just how straightforward the fitment process is. The honda cb500x 2013-2023 exhaust is made to bolt directly onto the standard OEM downpipes — no modification, no cutting, no fabrication required. If you’re a competent home mechanic with basic tools, you’ll have this fitted in an afternoon. If you’d rather let a workshop handle it, any decent motorcycle technician will get the job done quickly and without fuss.

It’s worth noting that the centre stand attachment on the link pipe is available as an optional extra depending on your specific model variant within the honda cb500x 2013-2023 production run. Before ordering, please check your model year and whether your bike is fitted with a centre stand — and select accordingly when adding to your basket. If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Why Stainless 304 Makes All the Difference on the Honda CB500X 2013-2023

Not all stainless steel is created equal, and when it comes to exhausts, the grade matters enormously. We use Grade 304 stainless steel throughout the fabrication of the honda cb500x 2013-2023 link pipe because it offers an exceptional balance of heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and strength. Riders who commute through wet British winters or tour across Europe will particularly appreciate the durability — this isn’t going to rust and rot the way cheaper alternatives can.

The CNC mandrel bending process we use ensures every curve in the pipe is clean and precise. Mandrel bending supports the interior of the tube during the bend, preventing collapse or restriction in the pipe wall. The result is a smooth internal bore from header to can — which translates directly into improved exhaust gas scavenging, better throttle response, and a more satisfying ride on your honda cb500x 2013-2023.

Installation Tips for Your Honda CB500X 2013-2023 Exhaust Upgrade

Getting your new performance can fitted correctly the first time will save you time and frustration. Here are a few practical tips to bear in mind when installing your honda cb500x 2013-2023 exhaust:

• Allow the bike to cool completely before starting any exhaust work. Working on a hot engine is uncomfortable at best and dangerous at worst.
• Use penetrating oil on any existing fasteners that may have seized, particularly on older models in the 2013-2016 range. A little patience here prevents snapped bolts.
• Check all joints are seated correctly before tightening. An exhaust that isn’t properly seated will blow and cause an annoying ticking sound under load.
• Torque fasteners to spec — don’t simply crank everything as tight as possible. Over-tightening can strip threads or crack flanges.
• Re-check all fittings after your first short ride once everything has heated up and settled into place.
