Thinking about heat wrapping my pipes, i have the standard exhaust on my iron with some screamin eagle slip ons (black) and i want to take the chrome heat sheilds off and wrap the pipes up with black heat wrap. Are the pipes a stuff around to get on and off? do i need to replace any gaskets when re fitting? thinking about getting this stuff http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2000F-BLACK-EXHAUST-HEAT-WRAP-50MMX7-5M-6-TIES-/110722032795?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19c78c249b#ht_972wt_1189

any thoughts?

nah easy as, follow the manual. Ive taken mine off twice since putting em on. And I havnt replaced any gaskets and none leak. opinions may vary here for some.

With the gaskets in the exhaust port on the head, be real carful and take your time taking the pipes off. If the gasket in the port looks fine whay change it and risk shit dropping into the cylinder.

I recommend taking the pipes and mufflers off in one piece. Once off then use wd-40 or crc wher the pipe is clamped to the muffler, give it five mins and she will twist off easy. If it's stiff a few taps (light taps) with a rubber mallet will help.

i'm not a fan of the wrap myself but go for it! Let me know if you want to get rid of your black heat shields as I just scratched mine

I did exactly this with my stock pipes. It doesn't take very long to do and the only part that's a little fiddly is around the O2 sensors. I decided to do two layers to fatten the looks up which makes a big difference, so this means starting at the muffled end and wrapping up to the header and back down again. I wet the wrap to make it easier to stretch and get a tight fit, then used hose clampes to hold the eng on cleanly and tightly. It took about an hour and a half to complete.

 Sweet just ordered some, wasnt sure if 10m would cut it so i got 20m to be safe!

Did you just get rid of the chrome support bracket? I think ill spray the muffler clamp black too. Does anyone know what tourqe setting the headers would be? i dont want to over tighten or under tighten them bad boys.

don't get the s/e wrap its fuckin pus deteriorates after a while not worth a pinch of shit

 Shit aye, i got it from thermal velocity, they seem to know what they are doing. http://www.thermalvelocity.com.au/
