Exhaust wrap
08/12/24 at 19:57:16
 
So my bike has exhaust wrap on the header pipe. Is it really beneficial? It probably  helps contribute to the pop when I shut it down since it's holding in heat. Just wondering what you guys think

It won't contribute to the pop that would be lean jetting or loose header or muffler. Anyway I don't use wrap bc I've heard it causes the header to rust much faster.

I have a box of wrap I thought about putting on mine to cover up the blueing. Mine runs lean too but I removed the baffle. I think you need to rejet it. Got a rejet kit for mine waiting to go on once i get the wheels back.

Or, you could take your header to a hot-rod shop and have it ceramic coated, silver or black, never see blue again ! $60.00
Cheers!  Cool

Since opinions have been requested and we all have one…

I think exhaust pipe wrap is ugly, stupid, and offers no benefit.   Tongue

Holds heat in (I’m not an engineer, but that can’t be good).
Attracts and holds moisture - that can’t be good and promotes rust.
Did I mention it’s ugly?  Blued or rainbow colored pipes look cool.
Zipidachimp’s ceramic coating mod seems pretty cool.

Save the wrap for the engine compartment of a 427 where you might need to help shield some electrical wires or something.   Sad
