You'll get burned. I knew the exhaust wrap could potentially crack my exhaust but I though it would take longer than 4K miles. Oh well, lesson learned.

Wow nate I'm glad you weren't hit by flying shrapnel! Warranty NAW! no way. I'm wondering if the sale is still on at bikerhaven?
http://www.bikerhaven.net/servlet/th...-Harley/Detail -------->>> YUP!

Sidenote - call them apparently you may get an even better price,also have them check the package,one forum member had to return his because of a dent in the tailpipe.

Well, a new system is financially out of the question right now so I will be putting the stock system back on for a while. I love the look of wrapped pipes, but unless I win the lottery I wont be doing it again.

It isn't the first time for me hearing about that problem. Were you dyno tuned and what kind of pipe?

Wow. That sucks... Before doing any research, I'll fire off a stupid question: I was under the impression that the wrap on the pipes would help dissipate heat. That must not be the case and in fact quite the opposite. Is it holding heat? And is this a common occurrence (given time) with wrapped pipes?

The wrap holds the heat in, not dissipates it and I don't know if this is a "common" occurrence, but it's surely a well documented side effect.

Yes it was dyno tuned and running like a top.

It is a Bassani Road Rage
