i have wrapped pipes on my chopper, and they do smell when wet. not pleasantly either. it hides bad welds quite nicely
. i would go with a high gloss, high heat paint. scuffing them first is a must.

i resubmit in another lingo:
exhaust wrap is for tweakin performance
less you want the frankinstien look
(not bobbed look, wrap wasnt around then)
b4 there were choppers there were bobbers....

i agree, exhaust wrap is more of a hot rod thing.

Or you can wrap it for "YOUR" protection, a wrap'd pipe you can bump into and not remove large amounts of cooked flesh....

What does anyone know about the ceramic coating? Had a guy checking out my bike yesterday and he suggested that. I was debating on removing the wrap and painting my exhaust and he said if you leave the wrap on, it's best to get the ceramic treatment done. Said it's just over $100 and they coat inside and out so the heat doesn't deteriate the pipe so fast. Guess this part has nothing to do with it but it's kinda cool..it was a tech at the Harley shop that gave me that suggestion. The cool part is, 2 of them came outside and admired the savage for awhile saying how much they liked it. Then 2 more came out to see. A few asked what it was but one guy came out and immediatedly said, "is that a ls650..savage right? Awesome bike man!" With all the really nice lookin bikes in that shop, it was pretty cool to have so many of them outside admiring my savage!

i have mine painted with high heat bbq paint. i really like the color its kind of a satin but so is my bike. i think you should go with either high heat high gloss . or maybe black exhaust wrap. i dont think any flat or satin paint would look too good with a gloss bike

I just googled it and here is a site that does it.

Here is a site I had heard about in the past that Omar's used on his pipes.
