Heat wrap
Works well, keep it wet and tight. We use some at work on some exhaust,
and I took the end and did it like you put an eye on a fishing pole.Loop a wire about 3 or 4 wraps from the end, and on your last wrap, put the wrap thru the eye loop and pull the eye thru, and it will tuck it under the outside wrap. Then they will be no need for a clamp.
A nice wrap job looks tight. Good Luck-----Gbav1

So I'm guessing it's super easy to remove the pipes to do this and I couldn't really screw anything up? I have some V&H Blackout 2-1 pipes on the way and they'll be installed by the stealer along with a few other stage 1 things.
If it's simple to take them off, I may do that over the weekend. I'm guessing it's REALLY simple.

I won't reiterate what everyone else has said, but when I bought my wrap, from DEI, I also got a can of high temp silicone (black), not sure if that's the rattler can you were referring to, just adds another layer of insulation and seeps into some of the imperfections in the wrap. I love mine, but have been eyeing a new titanium wrap I saw in a mag the other day.

I wrapped the pipes on the bobber in my sig while they were on the bike. Total time to do both was about 30 minutes. Make sure to do as someone else suggested and soak the wrap in water first. It's an easy job - just take your time, pull each loop relatively tight, and make your overlaps even.

Do people have much problems with using heat wrap on pipes? Do they tend to unravel much? Are there any other problems associated with heat wrap?
I'm getting some new pipes and am debating chrome or wrapped. Chrome would look better, but these pipes will be closer to my leg than current pipes, so heat/burns may be an issue. So maybe heat wrap would eliminate more of the heat than chrome would.
Thanks.
