Review on Protect Your Motorcycle'S Exhaust With LEDAUT'S Heat Shield Insulation Tape by Brandon Castano

Revainrating 3 out of 5

OK, but spend some more and get a better product.

Overall, an OK product. The one down-side is there is no additional stitching to help keep the material together on the edges. Like all of these wraps it frays pretty easily when unrolling. Also it should not say "Titanium" in the product description as there is a significant quality difference between fiberglass wraps and titanium wraps. Other than that, the wrap offers decent heat resistance. I saw a drop in about 30º before/after in hot areas around the exhaust pipes when riding. One roll of 50' was enough to cover both pipes with about 12-15 feet left over for my bike. I only got the wrap wet (not soaking) when installing, wrapped pretty tight over the pipes. And of course, wear gloves and cover your arms as best you can. Be sure to wipe down surrounding areas with a damp cloth to get rid of any stray fiberglass.Update - After a few weeks of riding with this wrap and and repairing a section due to tearing I thought it best to include some additional thoughts. I have adjusted my rating down to 3 stars instead of 4 with some of these nuances:• After the wrap has dried and 'cured', I am seeing tons of fraying. Ridiculous amounts. The loops on the edges are the worst and it looks like every wrap around the pipe has 'whiskers' or is 'fuzzy'. This indicates poor-quality fiberglass.• The wrap is woven very loose. As I was making my loops around the pipes, one side would become increasingly loose, to where I would have wrinkles under the next loop. Not really much you can do about it because of the material construction.• Many defects in the weave/stitching. I had to re-cut multiple sections due to the poor weaving of the material. This only resulted in about 2-3 feet of wasted material, but still. If I were doing one long section of pipe I would have been screwed.That's all for now folks.
