2" by far is easier to work with.

Soak it in water really well before putting it on and it is easier to work with.

The 1" is useful when there is very little room to work like where the 4 pipes join the collector.

Even in small sections 2" just looks better. I've used both but the 1 inch just looks like you taped the end of a hockey stick. Its just smoother and less wasteful to use the 2.

are you suppose to wet the titanium wrap? I know you are suppose to wet the fiberglass but what about titanium.

Thanks

Keeps the heat in even on street bikes, plus looks better than painting your old pipes IMO
