YAMAHA TRX850 96-99

The yamaha trx850 96-99 is a legendary parallel twin that deserves a performance exhaust worthy of its character — and that’s exactly what Max Torque Cans has built. Engineered specifically for riders who want to unlock the true potential of their machine, this stainless steel exhaust is designed to bolt straight onto the standard OEM downpipes, making for a clean, no-nonsense upgrade that looks and sounds absolutely superb.

Whether you’re chasing sharper throttle response, a deeper exhaust note, or simply want to refresh an ageing standard silencer, this product delivers on every front. Built right here with quality materials and real-world fitment in mind, it’s the upgrade your TRX has been waiting for since it rolled out of the factory.

What’s Included With Your Yamaha TRX850 96-99 Exhaust

Every kit is supplied complete and ready to fit, so you won’t be hunting around for extra components or heading back to the parts counter mid-install. Here’s exactly what arrives in the box when you order your yamaha trx850 96-99 exhaust from Max Torque Cans:

• 2 x Stainless 304 CNC Mandrel Bent Link Pipes — precision-formed to match the OEM routing exactly, ensuring smooth exhaust flow and a factory-accurate fit
• 1 x Stainless Exhaust Strap — heavy-duty and built to last, keeping everything securely mounted under hard acceleration and vibration
• 1 x Exhaust Strap Rubber — included to protect against heat transfer and reduce unwanted resonance at the mounting point

The inclusion of mandrel bent link pipes is particularly noteworthy. Unlike crush-bent alternatives, mandrel bending maintains a consistent internal diameter throughout each curve, which means exhaust gases flow more freely through the system. The result is improved breathing, better performance across the rev range, and a noticeably more responsive engine.

Fitment Details for the Yamaha TRX850 96-99

This exhaust has been purpose-built for the yamaha trx850 96-99 — that’s the 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999 model years of Yamaha’s acclaimed TRX850. It is designed to fit directly onto the standard OEM downpipes, which means there’s no requirement for additional adaptors, welding, or specialist fabrication work. If your downpipes are in good condition and your bike hasn’t been significantly modified, this exhaust should drop straight on.

The stainless steel construction used throughout is grade 304, which offers outstanding corrosion resistance — a genuine priority for UK riders who deal with year-round damp, salt-laden roads, and the kind of weather that ruins lesser exhausts within a single season. This isn’t a cheap import dressed up with a shiny finish; it’s a properly made performance can built to endure British riding conditions.

Installation Notes for the Yamaha TRX850 96-99

Fitting your new yamaha trx850 96-99 exhaust is a straightforward process that most mechanically competent riders will be able to manage at home with basic tools. That said, we always recommend working on a cold engine, using penetrating oil on any stubborn OEM fixings ahead of time, and having a second pair of hands available for the initial alignment stage.

The stainless strap and strap rubber supplied in the kit should be fitted snugly but not over-tightened — stainless expands with heat, and leaving a small amount of flex in the mounting will extend the life of the strap considerably. Always double-check all fastenings once the exhaust has gone through its first heat cycle, as initial bedding-in can cause minor settling at the joints.

If you’re unsure at any stage, we’d always recommend consulting a qualified mechanic. Getting the fitment right first time means you’ll enjoy the full benefit of the upgrade without any unwanted rattles, leaks, or heat damage to surrounding bodywork.
