I heat wrapped my Soul OAPs with Titanium LAVA Exhaust heat header pipe wrap roll 2 INCH WIDE X 50 FEET LONG - Thermal Zero handles up to 3000° F(~ $30 + some hose clamps and an hour or so).
I was concerned about the smell of warm tire that came from the rear wheel wells after every drive with the particulate filter in place. Thought I'd play it safe and save a few $$. I haven't driven it yet in over 70 deg F, since then, but I'll see if the olfactory test determines anything. I also have an IR thermometer that I'll shine at brake lines etc to see how hot they are. Not the same as being on a track, but this car will never go to one anyway.
Here are pics...1st and only time I've wrapped this stuff. I smell less tire odor when I get home. Still haven't taken temp readings. About 2500 miles on these. Started at this end, hose clamps are buried under successive layers Ended at this end.
, but will soon.
I haven't ordered an exhaust yet, but I'm considering doing the coating too.
Only question for those of you that have it: Any concern with the coating flaking off with lots of track use and heat cycles? I know it's rated for a crazy high temperature, but what is real world use like. Will it come off after 5 years of track driving etc.
Thanks for the picture, for the coating what is it exactly I'll try and do a research around the Montreal area but I wanna be sure what I'm looking for thanks

I Installed mine myself and scratched the surface of one by accident, it didn’t scratch off.
I expect it to be quite durable as it’s true purpose is for the motor side to exhaust.
I have seen multiple seasons on western superbike and no issues.
I am not sure if one shop does a better job than another, but I know it’s not uncommon to have the insides coated too - this helps expedite the exhaust flow and sees a real world power increase.
