Wrap em, paint em or toss em??
i would paint them and wrap them... ceramic chips like crazy as does reg paint at least high heat paint you can touch them up... i would typically recomend high temp powder but these suckers get so so so hot... we could try 1200 to see how that works. i know from the bends back it would be fine but the bends on these pipes get insane hot... if you thow them away ill give you $ and my addr so i can dispose of them for you

+1 on the Ceramic coating! Never had an issue with chipping, nothing really holds up over time. In my opinion wrap just looks like crap after only a short period and once you warp them you aren't going to get that crap off anytime soon.

I painted mine with 2100 degree satin black stove paint (spray) ..you hit 'em once a year or so and they look pissah !!!
Mine look brand new now ...
I may wrap 'em for heat purposes...(and it looks cool ...)
and never ever throw thunderheaders away.. I'm not even sure I would say that out loud...

The thing with wrap is don't expect to do it once and be done with it.If you wrap it you'll have to re wrap it every couple or three years.If you ride agressively and you scrape your pipe where the wrap is it'll start to unravel.The wrap will also fade unevenly and fray as it gets older.The next time around I'm just going to paint mine with a good quality high heat paint and call it a day.
