[michel meacham]

Need some info. Has anyone with a HBU on a 2005 had any problems with the very end where the exhaust is that the HBU is melting out of shape?

I just bought a 07 repsol with the hot bodies undertail.its looks perfect as far as shape and no Miles.the orginal has had it on for 2 years and about 4500 Miles.I love the look and I was planning on pitting the hot bodies exhasut one the repsol.I just found one that already had it.hope this helps bill

Got the HB for 2 years now....no problems BUT I heat wrapped it before putting on the repsol.

It is a well known problem but heat wrap works fine.

No problems with mine but as Rene said use the heat wrap. i used silicine wrap from the company next door that makes it.......it's good to 2000 degrees..:D

2000:eek:that stuff will work for the space shuttle also:evilgrin:

Maybe I was to quick with the answer (heat wrap)......was he talking about the HB exhaust + undertail or stock exhaust with HB undertail????
I was talking about the HB exhaust + undertail.
I have no experience with the stock exhaust + HB undertail

Strange you should say that Rene..it's made for NASA and Boeing.......:D..it's only 5mm thick so real easy to install.

LOL.....I was thinking, if it's good enough for a REPSOL it will work for NASA also;)

I have the factory exhaust. Are you saying to wrap the exhaust or the inside of the undertail? Where is next door?

Stock exhaust with HBU.

[rene]

Stock exhaust with HBU.

Sorry Michel, cant help you with that.

I'm pretty sure heat wrap will work...just not sure how much the exhaust is exposed with that setup.

Heat wrap is not the most beautiful stuff to look at.

I have the stock exhaust. Did you wrap the exhaust or the inside of the undertail? And what is the Brand Name for the Silicine wrap that you used? And to you know if I can buy it in the US?
Thanks, Michel

I fitted the HB exhaust that gets hot and melts the plastic....wouldn't think you would need to fit this protection on the stock exhaust. It's not for sale from the company I got mine from........I know one of the guys that works there so it was a freebie.......:D
