This exhaust flap protection is made from 2mm thick, laser cut stainless steel.
It is fastened to the original fitting points with the provided aluminum spacer bushings and stainless
steel bolts.
It reliably protects your exhaust flap against small rocks and debris from the road.
I purchased the flap protector because the exhaust flap just looked too exposed for my liking. As for installation, be careful when trying to remove the original bolts that hold the exhaust flap (to be replaced with the longer Touratech bolts). The original bolts need heat to be removed, or you will bugger up the torx head. The inside bolt in particular is difficult to remove, as it is a little awkward to get a good purchase on the torx-head.

Very useful to have, and quite easy to attach. I had no problem removing the stock bolts. The Touratech bolts use a much smaller Torx head, for some reason.
