I completely missed that good point. But im sure they aren't lying about all of it. Probably just a lot a truth stretching.

Then why did you take it off the 400's pipe???? Did you get it coated???

Because it's not good to hold the heat in or dampen the sound on a 2 stroke pipe.
No I didn't get it coated for the same reason.

exhaust wrap keeps heat in,lost heat is lost power,also helps in scaveging next charge.

i have a question what if i put some on my blaster pipe but only about half way up. i have a fmf pipe which is a left bend pipe and runs right along the side of the engine, what if i just cover that area wouldn't that help keep heat off the engine? espically since its air cooled i could a lot of help from doing that.

Guys your missing the point. All the articles and facts your bringing up are for 4 strokes! Re-read the beginning of the tread where Eviltwin posts (also owner of Flotek).
There is no performance edge from wrapping a 2 stroke pipe. In fact it hurts performance...PB

are you talking about liquid cooled or air cooled or both? on liquid cooled engines maybe, but air cooled i don't see a problem, the less heat off the exhausts means less heat on the cylinder, which would ultimatly let the piston cool better, wouldn't it? honestly im gonna do it on my blaster, i not expecting major gains but i don't see why it would hurt it.
