Exhaust wrapping...

[Valentino Mossy]

Pros and cons please ?

Fancy wrapping the pipes on the duke while its all stripped down once i've cleaned them all up..

Corrosion problems ? Keeps the heat down ?
Any one fitted them before ?

Thanks all...

Pros: Um

Cons: It costs money, looks shit, does absolutely nothing, causes corrosion, smells of wet sheep when wet.


In other words... No No No No No.

That is all.

Exhaust wrap is only acceptable on choppers, retro or rats.

Ceramic coating. That is all.

If the wrapping get wet and covered in road grime, its all wrapped round your pipes, so you cant see what is happening beneath until your unwrap it and ten its too late and may cost you a new set of down pipes.

Also people will think your trying to hide something, ie a hole in a weld joint or already badly corroded pipes.

My opinion, more hassle than its worth.

From what I undersnd the heat in the gases give the gas a higher velocity. The hotter the exhaust gas the faster the evacuation of said has.

The heat wrap keeps the heat inside. It aids to prevent the loss of heat and help keep the higher velocity of the gas. Get the gas out quicker and you have more room to put the new exhaust gas in.

How well it works I can't say but it could well be one of those 'chasing that last 0.1bhp' sort of things. I would only do it if the exhaust was close enough to burn something and I wanted the protection. Shiny exhaust pipes also look good. Grimey shit doesn't.

I did it for larks, it generated huge clouds of steam whenever it was wet (and it's always wet round here) and yes, it rusted the hell out of my pipes. Fine for California, forget it in the UK.
