Since you are already aware of the cons if I were you I would just remove it. Rather it rust then try to remove the rust than rust and keep it under wraps until a worse state.

yea im skeptical about their benefits and aware of their cons too. but the problem im facing now is that this bike that im planning to get has the wraps on. If the headers have not rusted yet i can just remove the wraps but i cant tell whether rust has already occurred with the wraps on

 

The wraps are typically fibreglass kind of 'cloth', right?

The main function seems to be a sort of covering so that you wont get burnt by the exhaust.

IMHO, the wrap looks crap on the bike man...

 

If your exhaust are rusted, you can try using the Meguiar's Metal Polish. I used it on my FZ1 headers and the results are great. :D

haha thanks alot guys. I guess my main concern is whether the wraps on this bike cover up and damage/rust to the headers already. would be kinda f up if i buy the bike and unwrap the headers and find them in terrible condition.
