The DEI Exhaust Wrap 2-inch x 50-foot Tan is designed to significantly reduce underhood heat and enhance exhaust system efficiency. Wrapping headers and down pipes with this high-quality glass fiber exhaust wrap helps lower radiant underhood temperatures by approximately 50%, resulting in a cooler air charge that boosts engine performance. Additionally, keeping exhaust gases hotter within the system decreases exhaust density and increases flow, which can lead to noticeable horsepower gains.
Constructed to withstand direct heat up to 1200°F and radiant heat up to 2000°F, this exhaust wrap provides durable thermal protection suitable for demanding engine environments. The included stainless steel locking ties make installation straightforward and professional, ensuring a secure fit that maintains heat retention and durability over time. For optimal results, a high-temperature silicone coating spray from DEI is recommended to penetrate, seal, and prolong the lifespan of the wrap, further enhancing its heat resistance and protective properties.
It is important to note that wrapping catalytic converters is not advised due to potential overheating, which can shorten their lifespan. Instead, consider using DEI's Corvette Catalytic Converter Shield or creating a custom shield with the Floor & Tunnel Shield II. Once heat-cycled, the fibers in the wrap lose flexibility, so removal or repositioning should be avoided to maintain thermal integrity. This product is not designed for wrapping flex-pipes or flex-joints, which could be damaged during heat cycling.
Perfect for universal applications, this exhaust wrap is an effective solution for reducing underhood heat, decreasing exhaust density, and improving overall horsepower. Its high-temperature resistance combined with easy installation and added durability makes it an essential upgrade for performance enthusiasts seeking to optimize their vehicle’s exhaust system and thermal management. Whether upgrading a street car or a racing engine, the DEI Exhaust Wrap offers a professional-grade solution to enhance engine safety and efficiency.
