P500 Header wrap on exhaust

[Moose308]

Installed header wrap with stainless steel ties and sound/heat material under seat. Huge difference to stop heat coming up from seat belt area.

Might want to check underneath every once in a while for moisture buildup. Or it might try to rust on you.

Keep an eye on it, its called header rot for a reason.

Is our exhaust stainless steel?

Not stainless steel, but higher quality than most use. I saw a 420 trade at me local dealer, the exhaust was golden brown.

Far superior the offshore garbage that Polaris uses.

Pulled it off today for inspection. Looks good after being on 2 years.

Hey guys, so I did my coolant change this weekend(2015). And I notice that where the bleeder bolt is located right under the seat belts buckles that it gets really hot. I have done the exhaust wrap and also I'm using some kind of heat deflector under the seat. I was wondering if anyone had exhaust wrapped the Bleeder bolt metal tubing area? I think that this is main heat source for the belt area...
