OK. Theoretically it keeps the heat in the pipe so it is expelled faster and adds horsepower. Theoretically. It looks cool on "bobbers", comes in various colors and hides the horrible looking header pipes because most are jetted incorrectly and are scorched very shortly after purchase ; even the new bikes. So it has some cosmetic and theoretically some engineering reasons.

Because the pipes can get seriously hot and melt or burn things that come in contact. It also helps keep some of the heat off your right leg.

If you buy the DEI Titanium you do not need to wet it first.

The headers regularly glow dull red on these machines, wrapping made a huge difference in comfort during the hot summer. Also stopped destroying clothing when the user forgets the pipes get stupidly hot.

Only took about an hour and a half and I did wrap it on the bike after all. Wasn't bad. After a quick ride I found that I will definitely need to re-jet, getting lots of popping and backfire, worse than the stock pipe. It's a little louder than I expected, hoping the neighbors won't complain. Anyhow, here's a pic.

You wouldn't happen to remember what size the holes in the washers were??? I'm thinking of making my own version out of stainless.

Nice to see another discgolfer! Your wrap looks good. I have the BCB pipe and wrapped my header as well. It's been on for about a year and I must have done something in all the times I have been working on it, because I just noticed it start to unravel today. Angry

Oh well. Oh, and the reason for the wrap... my header looks like crap and I like the way the wrap looks.
