FAQs
Will this pipe fit my 2004 Honda CR85?
No, this DEP Exhaust Front Pipe is specifically designed for the 2005-2010 model years of the Honda CR85. Ensure your model year matches the product specifications.
Do I need to re-jet my carburetor after installing this pipe?
It is highly recommended. Performance exhaust systems alter airflow, and re-jetting ensures the optimal air-fuel mixture for performance, engine longevity, and safe operation.
How do I clean the exhaust pipe?
Use a soft cloth with mild soap or a specialized exhaust cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the surface. Ensure the pipe is cool before cleaning.
What kind of sound can I expect?
This DEP exhaust provides a sporty and aggressive sound profile, which is typically louder and deeper than the stock exhaust.
Is this a complete exhaust system?
No, this is a front pipe only. It is designed to connect to your bike's existing silencer. For a full system, you would typically need both a front pipe and a compatible silencer.
Where is this exhaust manufactured?
This DEP Exhaust Front Pipe is hand-made in the UK.
What are the performance benefits?
The primary benefits are increased horsepower and torque due to improved exhaust flow and reduced back pressure, especially noticeable in the mid to high RPM range.
Troubleshooting
Exhaust leak at cylinder head connection
Ensure the gasket is properly seated and the mounting bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Consider replacing the gasket if it appears damaged.
Reduced engine performance after installation
This often indicates an improper air-fuel mixture. Re-check carburetor jetting or engine tuning parameters to ensure they are optimized for the new exhaust's flow characteristics.
Excessive noise levels
While designed for a sporty sound, if the noise is beyond acceptable limits or regulations, consult a professional regarding sound baffling options or ensure no leaks are contributing to amplified noise.
Pipe does not fit correctly
Verify that you have the correct model year for your Honda CR85 (2005-2010). Double-check the alignment of the pipe with the engine and frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This front pipe is specifically designed for the Honda CR85 models manufactured between 2005 and 2010 (MPN: DEPH2812).
Setup: Installation involves removing the stock front exhaust pipe and replacing it with the DEP unit. Ensure all mounting points are aligned and secure. It is highly recommended to have a qualified mechanic perform the installation or to carefully follow service manual procedures.
- Initial Checks: Before installation, compare the new pipe with the original to ensure correct fitment.
- Mounting: Secure the pipe using the appropriate hardware, ensuring a snug fitment at all connection points (cylinder head and mid-pipe/silencer connection).
- Post-Installation Tuning: After installation, it is crucial to check and adjust carburetor jetting or engine management settings to optimize performance and prevent potential engine damage due to incorrect air-fuel ratios.
Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your DEP exhaust front pipe:
- Cleaning: Clean regularly with a mild degreaser and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the pipe for any signs of damage, leaks, or loose fittings. Pay close attention to weld points and mounting brackets.
- Carbon Buildup: While less common in front pipes than silencers, monitor for excessive carbon buildup, especially if the bike is used for short trips or frequent idling.
