Default Wrapping the pipes

Has anyone tried to wrap their headers still on the bike? Would I come across any issues?

I believe there are some who have tried it...don't know why though. If you do a search, you should find tons of wrap info.

Meatball? Lol I just put slip-ons on it and then decided to wrap them. Just thought maybe I could do it that way. Are the headers easy to take off?

Yeah man, 4 bolts at the head. Should take 5 mins. IDK if you have O2 sensors or not, add another min.

Cake.

I've heard from many sources, including the dealer, jus wrap them on the bike.
