If it is an original it is definitely two parts. I recently removed mine to fit new seals and clamps and could not get it to fit when I put it back, I found that I had left the old seals inside the cylinder head, once removed, Bingo!

The XBR500H had a one piece system, i.e. the silencer welded to the downpipe.  The early models had seperate parts.

My XBR500 H has front pipe and silencer as one piece - though it looks like they could be split they can't.

I had this problem with my left side silencer not apparently lining up with the mounting holes.I had to sweat and swear to get it back on!
