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.

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.

cleveland is definitely correct. also, unfortunately, i can only capture video off of my camera in mono, not stereo, that being another reason it didnt sound so great. it does sound much better in real life though.

haha, i would have to agree. it would take quite a bit to get the true sound through speakers. hitting high rpm's with these cans on is so awesome. now im curious how they comapre to devils and all the other available exhaust.

that understandable, i wish i had a camera that i could rip stereo audio off of, it kind of sucks that i cant. oh well. i know the video doesnt do it justice, but the exhaust really does sound awesome. i actually think my digital camera can record stereo. maybe ill try taking a video with it and see how it sounds.

they should be the exact same as stock or any other. as long as it fits on the header pipes then i guess you know its right.
