On alot of these new custom choppers, Im seeing this tape ,usually black, wrapped around the exhaust pipes. It almost looks like the stuff cast are made out of. I personally think it looks awesome if its done right. But I was wondering what that stuff is called and where you can find it. Also its just for cosmetic purposes right?

It's heat wrap. It's not really tape, it's more of a fiberglass weave. It's an insulating material. It also comes in a whiter color too. Check autozone, pep boys and the like but I'm sure you can get it online too.

yup..it is neat stuff...I think it is a neat look. I have heard and seen it quite a bit recently. I hear...the best way to apply it is soak it in water first. And pull real tight when putting it on.
look at the exhaust. There are alot better examples out there than that I just didnt have time to find them. The black tape looks really good when there is chrome showing at the end.

I hope there is because im not really digging those two examples, especially the white one , but id like to see what the full potential of this stuff is, so far it just looks plain weird to me
