Fiberglass wrapping for the exhaust pipe

Hi!

After burning a hole on my pant yesterday I´ve wrapped black fiberglass tape over the exhaust pipe, looking to isolate most of the heat and some of the noise:

Used something similar to this one:

A 10m roll allowed to apply 2 layers at two thirds of the full pipe length.

So far, so good. At the first ride it smelled and smoked, but as long as I know it is normal and should disappear after a while.
