Q:I am wondering if you could help me out with a mind-boggling thingy regarding my exhaust pipes. I have a Moto Guzzi V7 special and I just changed to a set of matte black Mistral mufflers. I was wondering if you suggest that I wrap the pipes since they are in stainless steel, to help match them with the mufflers, or if I should powder enamel coat them in black instead? Or if you have other suggestions?

I generally discourage pipe wrap, as it will keep heat (and moisture) in and shorten the life of the pipes. But if you dig the look, you must.
