FAQs
What is the primary function of the Polisport Armadillo Short Exhaust Header Pipe Guard?
Its primary function is to protect the exhaust header pipe from impacts caused by rocks, debris, and other trail hazards, while also reducing vibration and noise.
Does this guard fit all motorcycles?
It is designed for performance motocross and enduro motorcycles. While efforts are made for broad compatibility, it's best to check the dimensions and ensure it fits your specific header pipe configuration.
How long is the short version of the guard?
The short version of the Polisport Armadillo Exhaust Header Pipe Guard measures 22cm in length.
Do I need to remove the header pipe to install this guard?

What materials is the guard made from?
The guard is constructed from a blend of stainless steel and silicone for durability and heat resistance.
Can this guard protect against extreme heat?
It is designed to resist high temperatures from the headpipe, but it is primarily for impact protection and should not be considered a primary heat shield for prolonged direct heat exposure.
How do I clean the exhaust header pipe guard?
Clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Guard is loose after installation
Re-check the fastening mechanism. Ensure all clamps or straps are tightened securely according to the installation instructions. If the issue persists, inspect the header pipe for any deformities that might prevent a snug fit.
Excessive noise or vibration not reduced
Verify that the guard is correctly positioned and making full contact with the header pipe. Ensure the elastomer material is not damaged or compressed unevenly. Some minimal vibration may still be present depending on the motorcycle model.
Guard shows signs of wear or melting
This guard is designed for high temperatures, but prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct flame can cause damage. Ensure the guard is installed correctly and not in contact with excessive heat sources beyond normal exhaust operation. If damage occurs, replacement may be necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides robust protection against impacts and debris.
- Reduces unwanted exhaust noise and vibrations.
- Withstands high operating temperatures effectively.
- Simple installation process without complex disassembly.
- Enhances the visual appeal of the motorcycle.
Cons
- The 'short' size may not offer complete header pipe coverage for all models.
- Limited adjustability due to its fixed size.
- Primarily designed for impact protection, not heat shielding of the entire pipe.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the motorcycle's exhaust header pipe is cool to the touch before installation.
- Position the Polisport Armadillo Short Exhaust Header Pipe Guard onto the header pipe, ensuring it covers the desired area.
- Secure the guard using the integrated fastening system or any provided mounting hardware. The design allows for installation without removing the headpipe, simplifying the process.
Compatibility:
This guard is designed for performance motocross and enduro motorcycles. While the short size aims for broad compatibility, it's recommended to measure your header pipe diameter and the specific section you wish to protect to confirm fitment. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for precise compatibility details.
Care:
Clean the guard regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing directly on the guard, as this could damage the material. Ensure the guard remains securely fastened after cleaning and riding.
