The main reason I wrapped the header is just for cosmetics. Supossedly it helps exhaust scavenging but I just wanted to hide the discoloring of a ten year old pipe. I just went to the local Checker store and picked up 50' of header wrap, the one inch stuff. It was black to begin with but soon started to fade so thats when I painted it. Just painted right over the wrap but I did a little sanding on the midpipes first to rough them up a little. The paint I used is called VHT (very high temperature) flameproof. Got that at Checker too. It seems to holding up very well even where my shoes sometimes rub right behind the pegs.

 

Question? With the slip on exhausts do you have to do any mods for the carb? Because I recently put on 2Bros slip on exhausts for my SH and while riding I can smell some gas. Is this normal?

 

you didnt wrap the mid pipes did you? i think i want to do what you did with yours. it definitely looks a lot better.

 

i didnt do anything to my bike other than putting the cans on. with your situation, and my limited knowledge, i would say you might need to install a jet kit and of course a new air filter with that jet kit. im not sure though.

 

there is now a video in my first post.

 

video time everyone!

 

*cricket noise*

 

lol...I thought it sounds good. Kinda timid in the video? is that what it sounds like in real life?

 

I've got the black Aluminum round ones. They are louder and lower in tone than represented in the video.
