76-77 MC5 250 Exhaust Pipe

[mx503]

I am restoring two 77 MC5 250's and I need at least one and would like to buy two exhaust pipes. I have seen an aftermarket pipe on one of the forums. I think I would prefer the stock pipe for the bikes but I am going to race one. What is available, where do I buy and are the aftermarket pipes better?  I am not quite starting from scratch but close. I also may not do the motor work myself. Any suggestions there? Thanks for the help!

Thanks, Bob

Check with Andy at Ace on pipes, he's listed under suppliers. Very few originals around, so unless someone here has one hanging in the rafters for sale, Andy's your best bet. The GS-6 pipes are even harder to come by than the MXs, since no one is making anything aftermarket that I'm aware of which is quiet and has a spark arrestor. Some guy from Europe offered me $300 for the original pipe off a '75 GS400 that I bought on ebay for $700. Yikes.

If you go at the engine yourself and need any engine parts, shoot me a note...I have remnants of 2 250 motors I'm soon to sell off. Good luck.  Mac

Thanks Mac!
I have a couple of rusty pipes that I am not sure if they can be salvaged. I missed a pipe as it was labled wrong and I did not look at it close enough. Thanks for your offer on the motor parts. I keep you posted.

Thanks, Bob

I have one for sur and maybe two.  They don't have the silencer(why they took those things off I'll never know), but are solid pipes.  Let me know if you want them.  Good luck and.......GO PENTON!
