When looking at Ron's OTT setup from Kymco last month, I noticed that
that
muffler looked like it *may* have had a heat shield integrated into it,
this
would help.
Mine (the ISP version) has no heat shield. Has anyone tried the
header/exhaust wrap? Mid-America's catalog claims lower under-the-hood
temps, but the stuff is pricey @ $49. I figure I could at least
wrap/isolate the header, though there's no way around the toasty bellows.
Tin foil perhaps...?
Thanks!
