The DEI Glass Fiber Exhaust Wrap part number 10102 is designed to significantly reduce under hood heat and enhance exhaust system efficiency. Measuring 2 inches wide with a 50-foot length, this high-quality wrap is suitable for a variety of automotive applications where thermal management is critical. Wrapping headers and down pipes with this product helps to lower under hood radiant temperatures by up to 50%, resulting in a cooler air charge that can boost engine performance. Additionally, maintaining higher temperatures within the exhaust gases decreases exhaust density and increases exhaust flow, which can lead to noticeable horsepower gains.
This exhaust wrap withstands direct temperatures up to 1200°F and radiant heat up to 2000°F, making it suitable for demanding engine environments. A key feature is its durability and heat retention capabilities, which help prolong the lifespan of your exhaust components. The wrap is secured using stainless steel locking ties, ensuring a clean and professional installation. The product also includes installation guidelines to assist users in achieving optimal results. For added protection and longevity, it is highly recommended to apply the DEI HT Silicone Coating spray, which penetrates, seals, and shields the fibers from moisture and damage.
Note that wrapping of the catalytic converter is not advised, as excessive heat can reduce its lifespan. Instead, options like the Corvette Catalytic Converter Shield or the Floor & Tunnel Shield II can provide better protection. It is important to understand that once the fibers are heat cycled, they lose flexibility and should not be moved or removed, especially around flex pipes or joints. This characteristic ensures the wrap maintains its thermal properties during normal operation, but it also necessitates careful planning during installation.
Designed for universal use, this exhaust wrap is an effective solution for reducing engine bay temperatures, improving airflow, and increasing horsepower. Its premium construction and comprehensive installation guidelines make it an excellent choice for automotive enthusiasts and professionals seeking reliable thermal management 1200°F direct / 2000°F radiant heat
