Just purchased an 05 Foreman (TRX500FM) and ordered from the dealer the high performance kit and HMF pipe. Well, the kit came in but the pipe has been on back order for 2 weeks, has anyone else had trouble getting this pipe?

 

[deadmullet]

it took me almost a month to get mine.

 

[trailrider]

Oh well, I guess I'll get it when I get it...

On another note, I would like to add a winch, is there a "winch kit" that I can buy that will have the mount and everything that I need?

i got mine pretty fast and some places say there on back order. but they said my dads was on back order so i called hmf and they told me what distributer of theres had one in stock.

Highlifter had mine in stock. A lot of places run low on stock, HMF only builds to order, they do not "stock" pipes. So if you call them it will be 10 days before it ships.

Is there a specific model number for the HMF exhaust for the 500 Foreman or will a different model number work as well? I was searching Highlifter's website but didn't see a pipe specifically for the 500 Foreman? Any other sites out there that sell them as well? Thanks!

 

[Truegrit]

The pipe for the 2004 Rubicon will fit, they are the same. And that is what I ordered.

Anyone know if the exhaust kit that you can purchase which includes the HMF pipe, K&N Filter, Dynojet, and recharge kit for the 450 Foreman will fit the new 500? Check this out... <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... Track=true</a>

I would get this now if I knew it would work!

 

[Rubicon3303]

i am not sure robb thinks his is diffrent from the 450 and 500 but he didnt take it off to see.

 

[Robb]

yeah I must say I just glanced at it, I should know for sure by friday.

 

[Truegrit]

I would put money on it not fitting at all since the rubi and the 450's pipes were not compatable.

I did the tractor muffler today. $21.95, what a deal.

 

[Robb]

lol...thats awesome...how does it sound?

 

[raveer2000]

Honestly??? Identical to an HMF.

 

[raveer2000]

I mean identical to an HMF with out the quiet core. It's loud.

Just ordered the high performance kit from Highlifter, <a href="http://www.highlifter.com/store/High%20" target="_blank">http://www.highlifter.com/store/High%20 ... 20Kit.html</a>. I figured I'd play it safe and not mess with taking the chance with it not fitting. At least now I know it's made for the 500. Can't wait to get it!

 

[raveer2000]

Nothing wrong with that, I was just telling about a cheaper way. I'm always a little on the cheap side.
