Hi folks!
I'm considering wrapping my header. I'm reading the ins and outs of it.
Pros: (I've found)
1. Lowers engine temp
2. increases HP, fuel efficiency
3. Looks bad ass
Cons: (I've found)
1. Header will be near molten temp and slag soon
2. Turns white after a year.
3. Looks like ass
I intend to wrap my header pipe to the after market muffler in a nice tan wrap and then paint my muffler black. It's lookin good in my head baby!
I painted my muffler last weekend with some high heat stuff. Everywhere had the paint! It recommended primer....I went to five different places looking for that darn primer. Never found it. I finally got pissed off and scratched my muffler to hell hoping it would hold....
Can anyone guess the result?
Correct!
Chipping the next day. :'(
I'm sand blasting that shite off tomorrow and priming with some zinc chromate (Still!! can't find any primer for VHT paint for the re-coat).
Oh dear I've rambled....
I just love talking about my bike!
Where was I?
What do you folks have to say about header wrapping? Is silicone spray needed?
