I had to temporarily remove part of the exhaust cover because it did not align properly with the muffler.
To my surprise, I liked the flow of the pipes going into the resonator (or goat bladder for friends & family) and then coming out to the muffler.
A quick search online seems to indicate that I am not the only one who likes this slightly "different" and somewhat rougher look.
Here are some of the examples I found.
I am trying to figure out whether to leave the exhaust pipes exposed (cleaned of any rusty debris/pieces) or to cover them in some way.
I'm not a big fan of exhaust wraps, like the ones in the examples in my previous post.
What would be the options?
The usual flexible exhaust cover (like you often see with roadhouse exhausts) seems to be sold in shorter pieces than I would need to cover the longer pipe.
Does anyone know what this other type of (braided?) pipe cover might be?
I guarantee if you leave them uncovered or unwrapped you are going to experience some severe radiating heat issues to your right leg...even if you don't actually touch the exposed pipe....The covers and or/wraps are there for both aesthetics and for heat protection. But, hey, your choice to take the risk...just my 2 cents..... ;)

That's a very valid point that I hadn't considered...
