Looks aside, performance aside, it's a $40.00 fix to a bent and scratched pipe.



True enough! I just did mine because I got sick of taking care of the chrome. My pipes were beyond blue so I went to the trouble of de-bluing them and had them looking nice again. Then, while riding on Christmas morning I noticed a fairly significant oil leak. I attempted my non-scientific home diagnostic technique which simply meant reving the engine while standing next to it to find out where the oil was coming from. As it turned out I needed to replace the valve cover gasket but in figuring that out I managed to blue the pipes out pretty good again. Not want to spend the time de-bluing them I decided to wrap them. Problem solved! I'll never have to deal with those pesky blue headers again!

Let my dying thought be that every mile was fun and let my tombstone read,"They never made one fast enough for me."
