Exhaust for Templar 250?

CofelZ28 · 01-30-2024, 12:05 AM

I have an X Pro Templar 250 5 speed. I’ve put some bigger jets in the carb so it didn’t run so lean, as well as a 40T rear sprocket to get some more top end out of it. I’ve been interested in a new exhaust for the bike but haven’t found anyone talking about one. Does anyone have a link or suggestion to an exhaust for these bikes that fits and works well?

I have the X model and am in a similar situation. Would like to find a quieter muffler as the stock one has quite the bark and while it sounds great I'm guessing the neighbors may not feel the same.

How about gut the cat, there's an inexpensive way ($10) to do it posted by K'hermiit.

I have a full exhaust system including cat delete sounds and looks AMAZING! I love it only $100 buck-a-roos!! Almost looks better then my 2018 KTM 500 EXC with the full $1,000 FMF system. Sounds about the same too!

How is the sound, is it any quieter or louder?

$100? Got a link to that?

This looks like the link (For a CRF230F):

Did you have to do any modification to get it to fit? Looks like there is a light bend by the motor.

Probably it. The ones I've been seeing are said to fit Hawks and TBR7's which use the five speed engine setup. Never been sure one would fit well on an X with the six speed. If so, then I am buying one.
I was going to cut and weld in a converter eliminator pipe but just swapping the entire system appeals to me more. Much as I love such projects I'm very time-limited lately.

Honda CRF250. That 250 engine is what the 172-FMM is based on.

Front axel is identical- bearings and seals for CRF250 will fit (confirmed), and more!

Amazon link. That eBay one above seems expired.

The JFG Racing Bel Parts, and similar exhaust, will NOT fit the XPRO Templar X model, not even close. The 180 degree bend just out from the manifold is no where close to large enough to get out and around the frame. Learn from my mistake or you'll have to return it like I am currently and continue to search for one that will fit. With that deep 180 bend and 32mm pipe to muffler fit, it is definitely an odd combo to try to replace with "aftermarket" parts.
I'm open to any suggestions because I destroyed my muffler and I'm trying to figure this all out.
Thanks

The simplest solution is to modify the original pipe. Well, not simple, but it fits.

My son's Temp X came with a badly bent pipe that made the muffler install nearly impossible. I took photos and we got a replacement pipe under warantee (not the muffler). So they can sell you the pipe if you ask for a quote.

Having a backup is nice, but if you (or your shop/friend) can weld stainless steel, you know the answer. Cut the bulb, empty it, weld it.
