Editorial Review :
Wrapping headers and down pipes is an important first step in controlling unwanted underhood radiant heat. Keeping exhaust gases hotter within the exhaust system helps in decreasing exhaust density and increases exhaust flow. This improves exhaust scavenging resulting in cooler air intake temperatures for an improvement in performance and a gain in horsepower. Design Engineering stainless steel Locking Ties are the perfect way to fasten exhaust wrap for a easy, clean and professional installation.

dont think, it works!
i put the wrap on my kawa sport bike, not only is performance increased but lowers the base in the exhaust for a pro sound system. i have just finished a 2 hour ride with my friends, they thought i was crazy, i can touch the wrap without getting burnt. it is a cheap and easy upgrade, follow online instructions on how to apply it, i applied it while the pipes were still on the bike. work the wrap from the down pips up to the headers, the crease line faces the rear of the bike so that its stream lined and doesnt pick up dirt and rocks! they recomend steel zip ties (thats a joke) any stainless steel clamp works. use the high temp silicone the first time with a light coat, let that burn off, along with any water left in the wrap. then apply and heavy coat then your good to go for about a year! clean as any other part in, and keep bits that flake trimed. this is a great up grade, it helps prevent burns, increases performance, looks great, prevents corrosion what more can u ask for with such a cheap and effective upgrade. i've since ordered alot more. beleive it or not i put it on my ride on mower, car, and my bike!

Well made
No complaint about the quality of this product. It is just that I didn't like how it steamed when it got wet. I took it all off. But, if this is what you want, it looks cool.
Rating :
Use it for its purpose.
Great product. Installs well under instructions provided. Common mistakes are when dampening the product to install. Wrap must be lightly dampened with water, not soaked! A good tip is to wear gloves and long sleeves when installing so you dont get fiberglass in your skin. Lots of people buy this product with expectations of a noticable amount horse power gain and get disapointed! Please dont get this product for that reason, therefore you will be disapointed. This product is mainly designed to keep engine bay temps down for your hot exhuast headers or turbo downpipes. Warning!!! Wraping your headers will cause them to be in extreme temperatures and not allow your headers to disapate causing your headers to get brittle over time. Also wrapping exhuast headers will allow moister to sit on the wrap which will cause corrossion or rust depending on the matterial of the header. To prevent this use silicone spray. HEI also makes silicone spray.. Product comes with steel straps that work good.. 5 stars

THIS IS GOOD STUFF
USED THIS MATERIAL ON A HOME MADE, CUSTOM COLD AIR INTAKE BOX FOR MY '92 TOYOTA, 4X4, PICK UP TRUCK (TRUCK HAS A 2005 CHEVY BLAZER 4.3 VORTEC ENGINE, SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND AN AFTERMARKET COLD AIR INTAKE SYSTEM THAT FIT MY APPLICATION). FABRICATED AN ALUM BOX TO SHIELD THE K&N AIR FILTER FROM THE HOT AIR TRAPPED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, AND COMING FROM THE RADIATOR AND ELECTRIC FAN. USED THE THERMO-TEC ADHESIVE BACKED HEAT BARRIER AND WRAPPED THE ALUM BOX WITH GREAT EFFECT. INCREASED FUEL MILEAGE AROUND 14%. COULD ALSO FEEL AN INCREASE IN POWER. WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE USE OF THIS MATERIAL, WORKS AS ADVERTISED!

Hello Guys,I have a 2001 Honda Civic Ex Coupe. Have a few problems I would like to ask and hopefully will get some answers.1. Weird noise coming from the engine. The sound is coming from the left side of the engine near the timing belt. Sounds like something is skipping and with a ching, ching, ching sound.2. When warming up car I hear something rattling from the bottom of my car. I believe its in the exhaust system. Could it be the heat shields?3. My car is burning gas very quickly instead of getting 32 MPG i feel that im getting 21 MPG. Can you lose MPG because of the heat shields.Any Info Will Help. thanks so much guys and gals

Question : Anyone have feedback on an exhaust for a Ducati Monster?
I have narrowed my choices to Akrapovic or Leo Vince. Both slip-on for now.I know Leo is a very common system for Monsters but Akrapovic seems to make a very nice system as well. The Akrapovic is a bit more but also includes Carbon heat shields which are a nice addition. I want something that will add a bit of horse-power, both will, and I want a deep throaty sound.Does anyone have any feedback on these systems?Thanks in advance.
Answer:
Since i'm not seeing anyone has responded:It's far to difficult to answer this as a definite "This is better" answer.For me, LeoVince is my choice. They sound heavenly on a Desmodue engine and are just a wonderful pleasing sound to the ears with a small increase in power. You'll get the most out of that bike with a filter upgrade, the pipes, and a good powercommander tune.I'll link you below to a clip of my 900SS with LeoVince pipes (baffles on the bike). They are MUCH LOUDER with the baffles removed, and much more throaty once they are removed should you get a wild hair up your butt to become loud and obnoxious beyond the sound that they come with.

Question : do i need a heat shield for my 1991 caprice classic? between the gas tank and the exhaust system?
my heat shield fell off my 1991 caprice classic. it's located between the gas tank and the rear exhaust. the mechanic told me it does not have to be replaced. is this true?
Answer:
Personally I think it should be replaced. They put it on there for a reason. To protect from heat from the exhaust and as sort of a skid plate for the gas tank. I'm guessing its a plastic tank but I don't know for sure. Without it it would be easier to puncture.

Question : exhaust system question?
i have a 1988 olds. delta 88, 3.8,and it has a long intermediate pipe on it and the question i want to know,is if the pipe is rusty,not any holes,will it make a rattle noise,some people said if it gets too rusty inside,then it can rattle.i checked all the heat shields,all hangers and clamps and the pipe isnt hitting on anything,but it seems to rattle,when iam driving.would a rusty pipe cause that? and its got a new cat and muffler on it too.
Answer:
It can cause a rattle if you have excessive rust. I would look at replacing the whole pipe. If it's rusted enough then you will want to replace it anyway. It's going to start getting holes soon.

Question : How do you attach heat shields on a Harley wideglide?
I have purchased heat shields for my exhaust system. Looks pretty straight forward except does the heat shield go over or under the exhaust mounting bracket. The bracket seems to not have enough room to allow the shield under it and placing the shield over it leaves me not being able to have it fit proper
Answer:
Don't be afraid to flex the heat sheild clamps. If you still can't figure it out, go to a dealer, look at a new bike, and see how the factory did it. You'll get it.Good luck

Question : How do I access the top of the gas tank?
I need to replace a sensor located on the top (very rear) of my fuel tank. The only way that I see this possible is to drop the tank. In order to do that would mean removing the exhaust system, drive shaft, heat shield and many other items. Just for the heck of it I called a Cadillac dealership to get a quote for the job. They said the labor would be $90,00. This is impossible if they have to drop the tank. What am I missing (no access panel inside the car)? Thanks for your help.
Answer:
they probably arent dropping the drive shaft or exhaust, just dropping the tank enough to get to it,but i agree $90 for dropping the tank from cadillac is a helluva good buy.monday i did a 1974-5 olds cutlass that hasnt been fired since 1991, it ran like a dream.nice car for 100 bucks, but the holley 600 needs a kit. i just cleaned out the fuel system, timed it,put some lube in the oil for the valve train and sealed the holley and bled brakes and changed a flat. all for free, that was a better buy.believe it or not the airshocks still had air in em.

Question : What oil leak has similar symptoms as a valve cover gasket leak?
I am having an extremely hard time finding an oil leak, been trying to find it for a while now. My engine smokes like crazy from the engine bay. It smells awful, definitely smells like burning oil, or something similar. You can smell it when the car is stopped at a light or stop sign. When stopped, you can sometimes notice the smoke, sometimes you can't. When I turn on the A/C, the smoke gets inside the cabin of the vehicle, and the smell worsens.I have recently replaced: Valve Cover Gaskets (both sides on a V6) and all grommets, Oil cooler (as it started leaking and oil was getting into my coolant), PCV system entirely except oil trap, and oil pressure switch. I can't see the source of where the smoke is coming from, but most of it appears from underneath a heat shield by the valve cover gasket (towards front of the vehicle). Probably dripping onto exhaust, but can't tell for sure.I have a 2000 Saab 9-5 SE 3.0L V6. I use fully synthetic Mobil 1 5w30 oil, last changed with filter less than 100 miles ago. When I changed valve cover gaskets, the camshaft area was immaculately clean (change oil every 3k miles).I have no idea what else it could be. I also have a coolant leak that empties reservoir within 20 miles. Obviously my coolant system has oil remains from when my oil cooler leaked. But I doubt that there is enough oil in the cooling system to cause this much of a smell and smoke. By the way, my coolant system is currently only water and flush. Trying to flush the oil out.Thanks for any advice. I have been trying to figure this out forever. My question is simply: What kind of oil leak can share symptoms as valve cover gasket leak?My brake and ps fluids are fine. I believe the coolant is leaking from a heater core bypass valve, which cooincidentally is directly over an exhaust pipe. But once again, not sure.The smoke is coming from below the headgasket, and bad headgaskets are rare on my engine, but cracked head/block is a fear of mine. Not sure how to check if this is the case, though.
Answer:
head gasket leak. or cracked head or block. doesn't have to be oil. How are your brake and power steering fluid levels?

Question : Will it be beneficial to install a cold air intake on my 1995 Dodge Neon?
I have a 1995 SOHC Dodge Neon with a 5 speed manual transmission. A friend recommended installing a cold air intake to boost MPG and performance. I looked under the hood and my air filter box is right against the firewall with the inhaler above the battery-they make the short RAM AIR intake system that will have the new filter hanging over a hot exhaust manifold sucking in hot air which is not what I want. The cold air intake is much longer and I don't know where it will go or if it will fit either. K&N makes their cold air intake with a heat shield but costs 250.00 which is more that what I have to spend. Has anyone successfully installed either of these and did it help at all with gas mileage? Did it fit? I drive for a living and currently on a good week get 30 in the city and 37 hiway-usually get 28 city and 34 hiway but if I could get more MPGs it would be great. I want to buy but I need to know if this will work.
Answer:
the colder the air you take in to your engine the more efficiently it can ignite the air/gas mixture, but to be honest, i really don't see a cold air intake making that big of a difference let alone making a difference at all.

Question : Weird Rattle Noise '98 Ford Taurus?
ok, so heres my issue. i have a '98 ford taurus v6 dohc sedan. most of that is pretty insignificant to this problem though, im sure. a few months ago, my car started sounding louder. i take great care of this car. always new oil, filters, spark plugs, everything. if i leave my car in park, or keep the speed under say, 30 mph, its perfectly quiet and smooth. now, between 35-65 mph, i get this terrible droning, vibration from the rear of my car, likely the exhaust system. it must be something rattling, or otherwise it would make the noise in idle too i would imagine. i checked my heat shields, and they seem to be in good standing, little rust on the underside of the vehicle, and all the bolts seem tightened up right. any ideas or things i havent tried? my minds drawing a total blank here. thanks
Answer:
Just a thought but ive put alot of rear wheel bearings taurus. They can get pretty loud at highway speed. If your noise goes away or get quieter immediately after you let off the gas than its prolly exhaust related. If it stays pretty much the same than i would bet its a wheel bearing.
