Yeah man, the heat wrap keeps a lot of the heat inside the exhaust system. I am really happy with it! I re-used my wrap for this second exhaust. For some reason I pictured it getting hard and being a 1 use item, I think because it looks like some of the hard cast I have had on my body from breaking bones. haha
Bend is a fun place if you like the outdoorsy stuff which is why I moved here.
