Exhaust wrap

In my experience, exhaust wrap moves the heat further down the pipe. So your silencer might get a bit hotter!

As you can see I am new on this site, and being a nosey B-------d just wonder why?

Exhausting

Why, what would be the point?

 

[Dr Bones]

I've only every used it on cars to get some heat out of the engine bay. Normally to protect other components close to the headers from being damaged by the heat (alternators usually)

I'd be quite worried it would start to look like a Hog

Only your street cred going down the pan

I used it on my boats' diesel generator, well out of sight in the engine room
Not a good look.

OK i get the dodgy looks issue...


But would it cause any damage at all. I'm guessin not, just a hotter 'zorst.

looks cool as feck, go for black and get some stainless steel cable ties to hold it in place. Probably wont do much good but it wont do any harm, and it will look cool.

Anyone got a pic to post of one done? I'm putting off wrapping an xs11 cafe (rat) racer with this stuff too many down pipes.

I have exhaust wrap on my Husaberg FE570 but only because:

1. The exhaust runs VERY close to the fuel tank and the rear shock - I'd like to keep them as cool as possible
2. If I've had a r/h falling off moment the exhaust could be very close to my leg/foot - I'd like to keep them as cool as possible too

The wrap looks unslightly and jet-wash (indeed any washing) deteriorates the wrap. The exhaust pipe is now somewhat miscoloured. Next time, I'll get the pipes ceramic coated.

But why bother on a GS?
