That's a great video .
The trouble with wrapping the headers is you lose the glowing red hot in the dark feature !

Not sure about the wrapping - what is the point of this? As I get it on old bikes it was used to dissipate heat - or prevent getting legs burned! Do we need either on the M3W ? does it look good? IMO no!

Technically, it's not to protect legs from hot bits, it's to keep the heat in the pipe to prevent turbulence in the gas flow near to the 'colder' pipe walls. Modern equivalent is ceramic or other insulating coating to try to keep the gas temps even across the flow. However wrapped pipes do look quite retro, as that's what folks used to do in the olden days before ceramic coatings were invented.... ish!

"Technically, it's not to protect legs from hot bits"
Mine sure was! After a second to deep second degree burn om my leg I wrapped the part after the shield. It works well, too!
Many people, including kids, just walk right up to the car, not realizing how hot he exhausts are. Don´t want to be responsible for that.
M3W, now!!!
