Default Burnt my pants on my new 2 into 1 exhaust


Looking for suggestions to keep my leg from burning. It's damn close to the rear pipe and I've already burned a pair of pants on the first ride LOL. Tune is good. Any suggestions besides exhaust wrap are greatly appreciated.

Pretty welds on that!

I'd be looking at a small, strategically placed heat shield. Be a shame to cover those up with a wrap job.

Yeah pipes get hot. Exposed pipes will burn. Those look GREAT but not very practical without shields.

I hate my fat cat. 2 pairs of jeans with holes and lots of burns on me. It has heat shields

That's a damn good lookin' exhaust...bet it sounds good too. I hate to see you cover it up with heat shields, but that's the only way to protect your skin/pants....

Are they getting burnt from the fat part when you put your feet down or the curved part up front when using your foot controls?

I would leave the pipe and change to mids.
