Title: Exhaust Hi Temp Foil
Post by: havinnoj on November 18, 2019, 10:32:13 PM: Anybody use the stick-on high temp foil tape on their inner fenders where the stinger goes? Fitment is pretty tight there on the 443 with the Cascade CSFX silencer, and thinking of putting some foil tape on the plastic in this section but have no experience with it. Anybody use it? Any recommendations or things to stay away from?

Thanks Loren. Looks similar to the stuff Cascade would sell/use on their stingers. I've heard it traps moisture though, have you had any issues like that?
