Default exhaust wrap
Is it normal for new exhaust wrap to smoke like crazy until it bakes in or something??

Yes, I have python throw backs on my wide glide and yes they smoked up a storm when first installed. They will smoke when wet and from oil spill to name a few.

I saturated mine with high temperature paint, sometimes black and sometimes clear. Protects it from the wind a bit.

Yep...it's still a fiber and coated so, just like any new exhaust component, there will be a burn-off period.

Not DEI, I bought it at Summit Racing. Can't remember the make, but know it wasn't DEI.

It's hard to make out the fine details in the vid. Is it armored like this?

Not armoured like that. Just bog standard fibreglass wrap.
