Hey everyone, quick question for you all. I recently purchased a 2001 250 and hate the stock black mufflers, plus they are a little banged up. Can I swap them out for the 2007 stainless ones? I know most parts are interchangeable up until 2007, just want to make sure that goes for the cans too. Also if they will fit, will I need to rejet? Or is the only difference between these mufflers black vs stainless steel? Thank you!

I believe they are interchangeable. The only diff is the color/material they are made of.

They're chrome plate steel, not stainless, but they bolt right on.

yep.. I had them on my 99

The chrome pipes are an exact replacement for the black pipes. Coincidentally, my pipes are from a 2007 as well...... and they are mounted on my 2001. I think they look WAYYY better than the black ones, especially with the polished lips.

With the polished lips, I agree, but otherwise it sticks out and doesn't match the bike. Typically, people want to go the other way (chrome to black).

The 250 is truly an ugly bike (pre-gen), but I love mine regardless. :)

It is a face only an owner can love. :lol:

That's why I have painted and moded mine...lol

Thankfully it does have a face that only an owner can love.... kinda a built in anti-theft device :)

I don't think the pre-gens are ugly, just a bit dated. Honestly I think they look better than most fully fared bikes from the 80's. Your bike looks great SV

I like the pre-Gen look better than the new ones. Somehow that "angry stinger up in the air" look of the tail just doesn't do anything for me.
