The genuine Honda tube listing covers the CB500K original-style exhaust application, but warns that connector positions are not all the same. Use the specific Honda number and compare the joint. A rubber connector is a service piece; it does not supply a replacement muffler or baffle.
The hardware package lists eight studs, eight washers and eight nuts. Individual port gaskets, the ten-pack and the chrome clamp are separate purchases. Review the old clamp and retained pieces as well as the gasket, especially when working with a non-stock header arrangement.
Check the rubber for splitting, hardening or swelling, and inspect the mating pipes and clamps. A new tube cannot seal badly corroded or distorted metal; identify that condition before buying rubber alone.
The 55mm figure is center-to-center mounting-hole spacing, not a stated header-pipe diameter. Compare the mounting holes, flange arrangement and required collars. The replacement references help identify the clamp but do not establish fit for custom headers.
The Honda tube listing says that not every original connector position uses the same part number. Match the joint position to 18473-323-000 and compare your exhaust layout before ordering multiple tubes for the motorcycle.
