another question about pipe wrap. I really didn't want to wrap my pipes. BUT! I have really fargled the welding on one side where I had to lengthen one of the pipes. So not only does it look like ass, but I'm pretty sure there may be tiny fissures still and/or maybe a pinhole. Heck I KNOW of one hole - I can see it, but every time I go to try and fix it I get another hole. (hate that sound it makes when I blow through while welding, like a real gentle "pop")
So, would the pipe wrap provide a functional seal for tiny holes while the bike is running, so that at least the exhaust system would function correctly - as opposed to having the equivalent of an exhaust leak halfway down the pipe?
The plan eventually is to have forum member Scott make me a set of pipes, but wondering if for now I could go forward with the pipewrap as described above. Or would that not provide a temp fix?
thanks!
