Yep. That heat has to go somewhere.
Ask Kevin: Should I Wrap My Pipes With Exhaust Tape? | Cycle World
Why is that, please inform me, I am humble enough to learn new things
Thanks
Found this on web, i used DEI titanium wrap
Yes, it is compatible with all exhaust systems from cast iron to stainless steel. Not only that, but you can safely use the wrap on any kind of tubing metal or aluminum. This includes piping on an intercooler, turbo down pipe, air intake and intake manifold.
More is not always better when it comes to exhaust wrap. You can hold too much heat in the tubing and manifold to the point of changing the molecular structure of the metal. This can cause premature wear of the tubes or fractured welds. Overlapping 1⁄4" is receommended as this allows just enough heat to emit.
Any other information is appreciated so i dont wreck my Ti exhaust

I was looking into the wrap to help with the heat and read something similar to that article so i passed. I also read guys saying it didnt do much for the actual heat problem

A few people on here worked that out a few years ago. Not to mention how dirty it gets over time.
Never could see the point of it myself. But each to his own.

Where did you get the see through cover?
eBay or shift tech
Right now I have wrapped pipes on my SC1000 (with high comp parts, so runs crazy hot) and my 1299S (w/15k miles). Not one problem. I've never have problems with any of the bikes I wrap. Tech people get so easily bent out of shape, but my pipes don't...EVER. Actually I didn't wrap the rear pipe on my 1299 and it cracked at the flange. I should HAVE ....... wrapped it. Would have never cracked if it was wrapped. P.S. You're bike looks great.
