Just got my new Thunderheader installed today at my dealership and had it wrapped in black heatwrap. First corner on the way home I heard a scrape...

 

Dammit that sucks man!

 

That really does suck.....

 

Aye. Contacted my mechanic and we're going to try to patch her up tomorrow. Have to be cautious of unraveling until then though.

Trying to find anything in my house that can secure it that has a thermal limit of about 1200F :P

 

You have luck like me! BAD....

 

Time for some taller shocks.

 

Got any worm drive clamps?
It looks like a super glide maybe?
Has it been lowered?

That really is too bad, man. I can't say I'm too surprised though, the ground clearance on the Thunderheader is what put me off. I think the best performance pipe for ground clearance is a samson powerflow III, at least that's what I've come to understand through my research. Don't have one fitted yet. I do know that my lower V&H muffler has some serious road rash, even scraped my primary cover the other day which is when I decided to start backing off a bit.

Also, have you heard of header pipes cracking due to limited heat dissipation caused by wrapping? Did this discourage you at all?

 

That sucks man but your clearly new to having wrapped pipes because that is a known fact that it will happen if you hit the right turns to hard.
