You might have better result by putting that in your underwear :lol No kidding here in Ar. in the summer the heat from the pipes under my thighs feels like a torch. If not for the leathers it would burn I'm sure when sitting at a light. I dont think much will be gained by putting under the seat, It may! but the can and the pipe is what need's shielding. And it wouldn't look very good with it.

 

Excellent Idea. I removed my cat also (06) using an aftermarket exhaust but it still gets a bit hot down there. I'm going to try this and report back on the improvement.

 

:corn

 

I'm pretty sure that the pipes attached to the can run closer to your right leg on the 09-14 where as my 06 runs more up the middle therefore I think it may help a bit.

 

I might even do some under the inside of the upper tail fairing in the vicinity of the pipes. Thinking about doing sheathing to the fuel lines and rail as well. We'll see...

 

If you have removed that cat and still get hot, you need to ride faster and not in shorts.

 

I don't ride in shorts, lol, I live in SINY and have to ride in sh!t traffic and roads for at least 40 minutes before I can hit fun roads and ride fast enough to dissipate the heat.

Lol no shorts here man. occasional traffic is a culprit too

See above post, I hear ya.

Did you adjust the fuel after taking out the cat?

Mine was dyno tuned and runs perfect. Just very hot in traffic which you can't avoid around my way until you get to the good riding areas.

CV4 gold is $16 for 12x26 inch sheet on Amazon.

Good find!!!!

I put it on today, i think it came out pretty good. Have yet to ride it.

Nice neat job, report back on improvements.:beerchug:

The tape reflects the heat away making the area behind not as warm as before. It cost me less than $30 and about an hour of time. Best mod besides the flash imo.

Good to hear!!!

Ride faster and don't sit in traffic, problem solved (for me at least).

Of course I'm lucky enough to live out here in the country, where I don't need to ride through traffic to get to the fun roads.

Reference my above post and it will explain why some of us have issues.

Sure! Rub it in!

LOL, ya, right!

Yes. SBU flashed, PCV with custom map at 13.2 in the open loop Zone and O2 optimizer installed. Runs awesome with great milage.

 

:lol mine runs awesome with shitty mileage!

looks good. I've seen people wrap the exhaust tubes with some kind of thermal heat wrap. Those may keep the temps down

 

Thanks man! I did some of the under tail as well and it helped alot! I would never cover up the pipes, the ti is too purdy

 

So...how did this work?

I got an easier and funner way of fixing this problem. Go to a duc dealer and demo a panigale, you will NEVER complain about the xplane heat again lol
