I too, found the DEI straps insufficient and went with common stainless hose clamps. Also, the black color wrap is actually gray. I understand the silicon spray paint works on the non-titanium versions.

Ive also heard that wrapping your pipes can cause them to crack from high heat?

I've had my stock exhaust wrapped with LAVA wrap for about 6000 miles now. Still looks good. Wrapped dry and didn't paint although it has a olive drab look to it since it was new. Still shopping for an exhaust system and will probably wrap it also.
