WTF304:
Does it really corrode ? The look wouldn't bother me .... and isn't that the reason for the factory headers being double walled ? ... does anyone have a picture of header wraped pipes and the corrosion that's taking place under them ? ... just looking for more info

WTF304:
Forgot to proof read .... meant this isn't my FIRST bike lol

J6G1Z:
Header wrap holds in the heat & makes the steel brittle if I recall correctly. Then condensation takes place, or the header wrap just plain gets wet. This moisture is trapped against the steel & begins to rot it away.

Honda has run twin-wall head pipes for a long time. I believe it was an attempt at preserving the chrome finish & making it last.
