EXHAUST WRAP?

I have a four into one Vance and Hines exhaust, that I would like to wrap. I have read that wraping helps with heat release and extra horse power.I would like to hear opinions and experiences with exhaust wrap. Thank's everyone.
I want to ride my bicycle!!!

Looks gnarly macho tough in certain applications, but likely helps more with rust than it does with heat release and extra horse power. :lol:

Here, take a look!
I bought this bike like this. a cople months ago.
I would never use it.
It's ugly! gets oily, dirty.
I would ceramic coat or use "JetHot" Coat it.
But this is a high perf engine that has 200 lbs. compression per cylinder. I can't wait to drive it, at the dragstrip!
Livin in "CheektaVegas, NY
Went thru 25 of these in 40 yrs.
I SOLD OUT! THE KAW BARN IS EMPTY.
More room for The Old Girl, Harley 75 FLH Electra Glide,
Old faithful! Points ign. Bendix Orig. carb.
Starts everytime!

Gas velocity is tied directly to temperature. It's not a difference you're going to feel in the seat but it can make a difference.

If you had a pipe that was too small for an application, that would be a logical reason to go that route.
