You can still buy the period accessory pieces in interlocking stainless. I got mine from Taiwan Tedd.

Most of the major parts houses still carry the flex heat shield.

Much more retro than wrap. In fact I never saw a wrapped motorcycle pipe in the 50s or 60s. But I'm stuck here in little old Arkansas.

The ones from Phat say chrome plated, not sure how those would do the test of time with discoloring (blue?). After going through the summer the aluminum have discolored nicely. I would get the tubing from Whitney if I was going to replace the flex.

Chevypilot; they sound perfect for me. Louder and deeper than stock but not obnoxious unless you get on it. The price is on the site. I really enjoy the looks on the Deluxe. They are the first thing anyone who looks at the bike mentions.
