what do you think?

i heard that it accelerates rust as it keeps moisture in

what about those kits you can get for about £100+? they must have some kind of protection added.

23-01-11, 01:36 AM

no idea, we use them on the race cars and considering they get removed and cleaned after every wet race the rust still builds up where the rap is applied

not saying that you can get stuf that would work though.

whats the reasons you want to do it ?

i think it looks pretty smart, not sure how ide work around the brackets and jubilee clips on the pipe though, that could look a bit dogey!
i like the look of that one with the custom mani on svrider.com, im sure you know the one i mean.

I just think it looks ****, why buy an expensive exhaust then cover it up?.

Nothing nicer than a polished downpipe why cover it in a bandage which will get covered in sh1te

looks shi1te, however according to some members on the Raptor chapter, its recommended on the rear downpipe, due to it being so close to the shock, apparently keeps the heat in so it don;t boil the shock fluid. Not sure if it works but hey, better than your bike suddenly pi$$ing everywhere and suddenly resembling a pogostick.

No advantage, would cause most factory pipes to disintegrate quicker.

Its mainly used on the forgotten era racers with stainless pipes, stops them being ground out

DB; R&G do a shock tube now which is meant to stop the crap and reduce the heat transfer
