EXHAUST wrapping

[spareparts]

Actually, I still meant heat reduction.  Reduction as reducing the amount of heat felt by the rider from the headers.  Thats the main reason I know of that people wrap their headers for... the performance aspect is one that I doubt can really be measured in any fashion

I guess that too!

My left calf agrees too.

i am psyched to wrap my pipes -- just as soon as i'm done with this tail chop... i am hoping it will keep the heat off of my legs and feet, but also want to make my old monster look more retro. it is badass, imo. wish thermo-tec had more of a white than a tan/copper.

does anyone know if the silver spray is really silver? or how it looks on tan wrap. PICTURES PLEASE!

I have wrapped plenty of pipes and have found that yes, rust can happen but it won't happen so much/fast that you'll need to replace the headers. Another option which I have done to good results was to bead blast the headers back to raw and then spray them with high temp SILICON header coating. Let dry and install pipes. Then go for a long, spirited ride to cure the coating (not necessary but much more fun than an oven or heat gun). After cool down wrap the pipes and they should be safe from rust. One could go a step further and silicon coat the wrap too once on the pipes.
DEI is a great company and I have used their "titanium" wrap, which is actually extruded lava rock. It does have a neat bronzy titanium color though. Aside from better heat retension. It is much softer and less messy to install than the fiberglass. No gloves, mask, eyewear, water etc.

I've never understood the desire for exhaust wrapping.  But folks is all different..... 

On my KTM, it's preventing any more damage to my pants. Before wrapping I melted a small spot of stretch material of my leathers and near burned a hole through some kevlar jeans...

I have a brand new roll of white header wrap with stainless straps if you want them.  PM me and let me know.

why don't more people just get ceramic coating? I just paid $60 to have my m750's front sections done, that included the media blasting and the ceramic coating. it looks much much cleaner in my opinion too, and doesnt get grungy looking over time
