I have wrapped and chopped Short Shots.
Your dealer was right, loud and they don't perform well...and frikkin everyone has them. I had to jump through brainhoops to make mine different:
Research your exhaust A LOT. What looks most popular is probably a waste of money.

Thanks guys, I love the look of your straights wrapped up! I'm going to remove the chrome shields and wrap them first chance I get. Any issues with yours since you wrapped them? I can't decide between black or white. Any type of wrap to aim for or avoid? Thanks again, I wish I could post pics from my phone!
Ps any issues with that metal bracket/brace that holds the back part of the exhaust on? Did you wrap over it? Thanks.

I like white, but black also looks pretty cool depending on the style of the bike. The DEI wraps are pretty nice.
I wrapped around the exhaust mount. I guess a lot of people take their pipes off to do it, but I just left mine on.

Thanks for everyone's info, I plan on leaving mine on too. I'll prob just wrap over the brace too. I think I'm going to black, my tank is a burgundy redish color, I think the black will look cool.

Spray it with about 3-4 super high temp paint and they will look great and last even longer. The black wrap from DEI is kind of grey in color. I just did my drag pipes on my 72 shovelhead with drag pipes. Looks legit!
