Heh don't knock exhaust wrap, I had to use it on one of my bikes to cover some blemishes, it's got it uses ocassioanlly. I know it's far from ideal, but sometimes it's Ok and covers up some hideous blemsishes......... ..........Each to their own I guess.
I'd post a picture but I'd get stick I've posted the picture of the bike so many times.
Same boat. Had corroded stock exhaust with a shape I liked, but looked like crap. I couldn't find a brushed or polished system I liked for less then 20% of what I bought the bike for in the first place. $25 in exhaust wrap and it is 100 times better. Who cares if old farts who never build anything, only tear others work down likes it.
Post some pics - I love to see what others are doing.
