Title: ??exhaust wraps??
Post by: caferacer on October 20, 2010, 08:43:19 PM

So ive got a project going on, and now ive got the engine running i was thinking off exhaust wraps on the fact they look cool. But i know nothing about them. I just wanted to know if it would benifit me or just be a pain in the arse. And just general info on it and if anyone has had experience with it.

Thanks for putting this thread on the Forum- Ive never heard of the stuff! It would enhance a rust-rotten set of standard pipes for sure.

I've never tried it on a bike but in my experience on cars it makes the pipes rot allot quicker.

the ammount of engines ive seen been fire damadged by wrapped exhausts could fill a book, exposed they can get contaminated by oil, desiel, petrol,......... soaks into wrap............ nice hot exhaust and bingo a fire, only 2 things id put on mild steel exhausts is, 1 vht paint.....2 a sprayed ceramic coating but 2 is going a bit overboard as is expensive, but if you want to thrash your bike then hold one of the headers  then ceramic coatings the way to go...........................

I've read that they start off nice & white but can then pretty quickly get manky & dirty though, which isn't surprising.

Am looking to wrap the headers on my CBR400RRK - you can buy wrap in brown & black which wouldnt look so manky after a few wet rides...  :)

Not keen on wrapping the chromeness on my Four tho, sacrilege for sure...  :-[

With Motad starting to make exact copies of the Honda originals I think that exhaust wrap would look c**p.
