Project: Modify your CRF 450R exhaust can and convert for trail use by installing the ProMotoBillet Endo end cap with spark arrestor.

Image

Tools needed: Drill, 3/16” drill bit, Hi Temp Silicone Sealant, Rivet Gun, Center Punch, 1/16" Pin Punch, Hacksaw, Allen wrench

Step One:

Use a 1/16" pin punch and a hammer to drive the stainless steel rivet pins through the rivet.

Image

Step Two:

Using a 3/16” drill bit, drill out the existing rivets holding the stock end cap in place, make sure to remove the head of the rivet.

Image

Step Three:

Use a pin punch or similar device and a hammer, push the rivets through the hole and through the stock end cap.

Image

Step Four:

Pull the stock end cap out of the muffler. Remove all
pieces of the old rivets from the packing material inside of the muffler canister.

Image

Step Five:

Cut off the portion of the inner core that is sticking out of the muffler so that it is flush with the outer canister of the muffler. This is easily accomplished with a hacksaw. Be careful not to cut into the aluminum canister. The inner core must be flush with the aluminum canister or the spark arrestor screen could be damaged.

Image

Step Six:

Smear a small amount of silicone sealant to the stepped portion of the new end cap receiver and around the receiver of the inner core. I used this sealant ( Hi Temp Silicone ).

Image

Step Seven:

Install the new end cap receiver, make sure that the receiver is pushed up tight to the muffler.

Image

Step Eight:

Install one rivet at a time by drilling a 3/16” hole at each rivet hole location. Each time you drill a hole and install a rivet make sure that the end cap is pushed up tight to the muffler.

Image

Install rivet.

Image

Step Nine:

Clean up excess silicone sealant with Lacquer Thinner or Carb cleaner and paper towel.

Image

Step Ten:

Insert the spark arrestor screen and check for clearance with the inner core.

Image

Step Eleven:

Install the cone nozzle with three M6 bolts using an Allen wrench.

Image

Finished!!!!

Image

Optional Step Twelve:

Remove lower M6 Bolt and install Quiet core.

my end cap did not come off easy at all. i went through hell with it for about 2 hours. ripping out the silicon, heating it up, beating it with a hammer, it just didnt want to come out

i did notice a little power loss with mine, though it is an older model, but it was very small loss. you can just tell a very very slight sog when you leave on the bottom of a gear that is slightly taller then your speed. other then that no complaints and no tickets from the rangers at state areas.

yup thats what mine looked like. i tried to do it all nice and clean, but after 2 hours of that and the realization that its not going back on, i resorted to brute force.


looks like you tried drilling holes in the tip to pry from too, i tried that as well
