I don't know if it is worth the labor involved. Are you going to bend up a mid-pipe as well. Or just cut the muffler off the end and weld the other one on? Plus you have to fabricate mounting brackets. What are the dimensions? You have to take into account how close the tires will get under full compression.

I don't know about the performance. I know you are capable of making it worrk, I just don't think it would be wrth MY time. If you could try it and it does not work the way you expected then you are out the $$ for the tractor pipe, plus you have ruined the stock one you, (well I gues you could reweld it.)

On the 500 the mid-pipe goes throught frame and ends right next to the head. Straightened out its probably 2 feet. The head pipe is only about 18" in a U-bend. And getting the stock or HMF pipe wrestled through the frame is a pain, that leaves you little room for error, if you bend your own pipe.

To get optimum performance you may want to get the kit and needle, But I do have a DJ 175, sitting in my desk drawer if you want to try swapping out the jet alone.
