I'm wondering on what is the best exhaust tape wrap and where to buy it? Thanks.

Not much difference in the heat wraps that i can see--but the best way to keep them clean is to spray the wrap with something like THERMO-TEC High Heat Wrap Coating: Black

It is available in black or silver. It tightens the wrap and allows water and oil to bead off. On our project bikes, the painted section lasted longer and looked better.

Thermotec

Install the wrap wet, let it dry in the sun and then paint the wrap on the pipe.

In looking for wrap for my bike, one of the only difference I've found is width.  The bigger 2" tape I think would be great on a longer set of pipes, say on a cruiser, but the 1" stuff is great for the tighter bends on Monsters and sport bikes and such.

+1 on wetting it first.  My buddy did his Sportster first just dry and didn't work nearly as well as after he did it wet the second time.
