Default Would exhaust wrap foil the boys in blue on a non-standard can?

My Daytona has a genuine Triumph sports can on. It look svirtually identical to the standard pipe but is a bit sweeter on the ears. However underneath it is quite clearly stamped "not for road use". Do you reckon if I wrapped it or half of it in exhaust wrap I could foil the fuzz? It might even look ok if I done it in black.

What do you think peeps?

I would say that it probably wouldn't due to the fact that I don't know of a single bike that comes with a wrapped exhaust as OE.

Also, if you were particularly unlucky it could even lead you to being charged with something more serious (in the same way that grinding down the "not for road use" stamp can).

This is by no means THE definitive answer - just based on what I have read / heard.

The bottom line with any mod is - if it's not legal don't moan if you get nicked !!

It's not on mine I don't think. It's stamoed in good and proper.

I never considered it'd stick out a mile to clever plods. DOH! Think I'll just change up a few gears when I see some.
