Product Information

Full details

The DEP Exhaust Front Pipe is designed for motocross riders operating KTM SX85 or Husqvarna TC85 motorcycles (2018-onwards) who want to boost engine efficiency and improve throttle response. By reducing exhaust back pressure, this hand-crafted component provides a significant power gain; however, riders should note that installing high-performance exhaust parts may require jetting adjustments to maintain optimal engine health.

FAQs

Is this pipe street legal?

No, this is a high-performance racing component intended for closed-course competition use only.

Does this require any modifications to the silencer?

While it can be used with the stock silencer, pairing it with a DEP silencer is recommended for the best performance balance.

Will this pipe fit a 2017 model?

This specific part is engineered for 2018-onwards KTM SX85 and Husqvarna TC85 platforms.

How often should I check the mounting hardware?

It is best practice to check the exhaust mounting hardware before every ride, as vibration can loosen bolts over time.

What kind of maintenance does the steel require?

Clean after every ride and check for any dents or structural damage; use high-temp polish to maintain the finish.

Is jetting mandatory?

Yes, we strongly advise testing your plug color after installation to confirm that your fuel mixture is safe for the increased airflow.

Troubleshooting

Exhaust gas leaking from the cylinder head connection

Ensure the exhaust gasket is seated correctly and the mounting bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specification.

Engine is popping or bogging after installation

The engine is likely running too lean or rich due to the increased flow. Adjust the main jet and needle position accordingly.

Excessive vibration during operation

Check all mounting hardware and brackets to ensure they are not over-tightened or misaligned, creating stress points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This pipe is a direct bolt-on replacement for KTM SX85 and Husqvarna TC85 models from 2018 to the present. To install, remove the existing factory header, clean the exhaust port mating surface, and install the new pipe using a new exhaust gasket to prevent leaks.

Because this pipe increases airflow, you must check your motorcycle's current jetting. Failure to adjust for the increased airflow can lead to a lean running condition, which may damage the engine. After racing, ensure the pipe is cleaned and kept free of mud or grit to maintain its structural integrity and aesthetic finish. For long-term storage, applying a light coat of high-temperature lubricant or protectant can prevent surface oxidation.
