I can see the logic in painting or polishing, to make it look nice, but why the bandage?

bandaging CAN and i use the term lightly increase performance becuase the exiting exhaust gasses gradually get coller rather than instantly,

I however DID bandage them to prevent the heat escaping and into the radiator/cooling system.

i now have full tyga system so no longer have this system on my bike i sold it VFRderek.
