Exhaust heat wrap is one of the easiest and cheapest methods of heat management in your engine bay. There are a few advantages for using exhaust wrap, but the main ones are to decrease engine bay temperatures and to speed up the exhaust gas flow. Exhaust heat wrap is very simple and easy to install, but will have a dramatic effect to your temperatures, and is one of the first go to heat management methods of many racing teams worldwide. The exhaust wrap is simply wrapped around your exhaust manifold and fixed into place using our supplied cable ties to make sure you have a strong tight seal.
The exhaust system of a car carries out the hot exhaust gas from the engine which can reach temperatures of up to 1200 degrees in some extreme applications. The effects of a hot manifold and exhaust system can negatively impact the overall performance of an engine due to intake air temperature. An engine is designed to run at an optimal temperature which will make peak power, usually the cooler the intake temperatures the better an engine will perform and the more power it will make. In some applications the cooling system on a car is not enough to keep the engine at optimal temperatures, resulting in heat soak to engine components which will dramatically reduce the efficiency and power. As well as the efficiency and power being affected by temperature, having too much heat in an engine bay can cause unnecessary wear and strain on delicate components that are not designed to operate in extreme engine bay temperatures. Items such as bearings, fluid lines and wiring can become damaged with overexposure to heat.
Another added benefit of our exhaust heat wrap is that you will reduce any radiating heat from the exhaust through the firewall or chassis resulting in less heat coming into the car. You can reduce temperatures anywhere up to a massive 50% which has a massive number of benefits and virtually no downside.
