I've had the headers on all my Hondas hp coated. I think it looks ok. better than burnt stainless.

I think of wrap as that lagging type stuff that looks like crap.

The HP product seems quite good.

I always felt that lagged pipes on a bike would be a hindrance to effective cooling.

so what is the effect ?

It's not a bobber without it.

It rusts the pipes quicker.

my understanding is it doesn't rust but rather the steel overheats due to the lagging stopping it from being cooled down by the outside air.
with the ceramic coatings, the coating is on the inside reducing the heating of the pipes, but still allowing the pipes to be cooled by the outside air.
