exhaust wrap
i have the rush slips and my girls boot melted & messed up the powder coat.. has anyone wrapped the stock pipes and since the diameter of the muffler is larger then the header is that gonna make it impossible to wrap?
Wrap the pipes with Summit Lava Titanium 2"x 50ft. and repaint the shields with High heat wrinkle paint from Pep Boys. Drill and pry out the Cats on the stock mufflers. Check out my photo albums for Pics.

Here is an option to consider, black slip on muffler shield.
HS14RB - Black 3" Muffler Body/14,16,22,25,26,27,28 Series Mufflers / MSRP - $149.95
Only have a pic in chrome but the black finish will match the slip-on.

Seen mucho headers wrapped but don't think I've ever seen mufflers wrapped..
Not sure it'd be pretty in my mind anyway..
might also check out how much any local PCer might re do them. or as Ryan said above U might get some shields for them.
We have good luck with the chrome ones when this happens. Had to clean boot melts off mine several times.

I went to the dealership recently looking to do the same thing. I have chrome slip ons so I wanted to wrap in black up to the slip ons. All the techs avoided it like the plague and told me it could take up to 8 hours to do...haha!!!! Bottom line I didn't do it however I have seen it done and it looked good. Find an Indy shop who will do it at a good price, or DIY.

8 HOURS to wrap pipes!!!!!!!
. Including taking the pipes off and getting them back on it should not take more than an hour and a half at the most. Maybe a little extra since you are dealing with take the slip ons off. Man these people at the dealers are getting more and more clueless by the minute.

Who has a good link to how to wrap instructions?
Mr Rush? I just looked at the Rush site. Nothing for any Softails older than 2007, is that correct?
