IT's held on with 2 sided tape. Just get a hair dryer out and it will pull off real easy.

Default new pipes

just installed the octane pipes from sikpipes. i love them. it was well worth the wait.they sound almost the same as the short shots i had before but with a more deeper tone.rides the same too no backfiring or anything.just cant wait for the wrap to stop smoking. already got a gash on my leg from the sharp pointy end trying to back it up out the garage. i still have plenty of work to do but what do you think so far.

great job!... those pipes look great.. how is the velocity stack working for you?... well, you now got me jealous with that velocity stack/NRHS breather kit combo.... I got to paint my breather kit and install it..

I guess the smoking is normal... I am not familiar with pipe wrapping... hey... post a video !!
