Product Information

Full details

The Design Engineering Titanium Exhaust Wrap is designed for automotive enthusiasts and mechanics looking to reduce under-hood temperatures and protect components. Its primary benefit is its exceptional heat resistance, keeping exhaust heat within the system and cooler air in the engine bay for potential performance gains. A caveat to consider is the specialized installation process required for optimal results. This wrap is constructed from pulverised volcanic rock, offering superior thermal insulation and durability.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of using titanium exhaust wrap?

The main advantage is its superior ability to insulate exhaust systems, keeping heat within the exhaust pipe and reducing under-hood temperatures, which can lead to improved engine performance and protect surrounding components.

What temperatures can this wrap withstand?

It can withstand up to 900°C (1650°F) direct heat and 1300°C (2370°F) radiant heat.

Do I need special tools to install this wrap?

While basic tools like scissors or a knife are needed for cutting, specialized stainless steel locking ties are highly recommended for securing the wrap, as standard zip ties or wire will not withstand the heat.

Will the wrap shrink after installation?

No, the DEI Titanium Exhaust Wrap is designed not to shrink, ensuring a consistent fit and seal once installed.

How much wrap do I need for my application?

The amount needed depends on the length and diameter of the exhaust components you intend to wrap. It's advisable to measure the components and add a little extra for overlap and waste.

Can I wrap a catalytic converter?

While the wrap can withstand the temperatures, wrapping a catalytic converter might hinder its ability to function correctly by trapping too much heat, potentially leading to overheating or premature failure. Consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic for specific recommendations.

What is the wrap made from?

It is made from pulverised volcanic rock that is extruded into a fiber material and then formed into a wrap.

Troubleshooting

Wrap seems difficult to bend around tight corners.

Ensure the wrap is slightly damp (not soaked) before installation. This can increase its pliability temporarily. Allow it to dry fully once installed.

Wrap is not staying in place.

Ensure you are using appropriate DEI stainless steel locking ties and that they are securely fastened. Overlap the wrap sufficiently on each pass and maintain consistent tension during installation.

Discoloration of the wrap after installation.

Discoloration is a normal effect of extreme heat exposure and does not indicate a loss of performance or structural integrity.

Wrap appears to be fraying at the ends.

Ensure the ends are trimmed cleanly and secured tightly with a locking tie. Consider using DEI's high-temperature silicone coating or exhaust sealing compound on the cut ends for added protection against fraying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces under-hood temperatures.
  • Protects surrounding engine components from heat damage.
  • Offers excellent heat insulation for improved performance.
  • Durable construction resists heat and vibration.
  • Easy to wrap around complex exhaust shapes.
  • Does not shrink after installation.

Cons

  • Requires careful installation for best results.
  • May require specialized tools for cutting and securing.
  • Initial installation can be a time-consuming process.
  • Color may change or fade over time due to extreme heat exposure.
  • Not suitable for all exhaust configurations without proper fitting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the exhaust component to be wrapped is cool to the touch.
  2. Begin wrapping at the exhaust manifold flange or the starting point of the section you wish to insulate.
  3. Overlap each layer of the wrap by approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch to ensure complete coverage and prevent heat escape.
  4. Use DEI's proprietary stainless steel locking ties (sold separately) to secure the wrap at the beginning, end, and at intervals along the exhaust system. Do not use zip ties or standard wire, as they will not withstand the heat.
  5. Trim excess wrap with sharp scissors or a utility knife.

Compatibility:

This wrap is compatible with most exhaust manifolds, headers, and exhaust systems made of steel or other high-temperature resistant metals. It is suitable for naturally aspirated, turbocharged, and supercharged applications.

Care:

  • The wrap is designed for extreme heat and generally requires minimal care.
  • Periodically inspect the wrap for any signs of damage or loose sections.
  • Keep the wrapped area clean from excessive oil or debris, which could potentially ignite at high temperatures.
  • The color may darken or show discoloration over time due to heat exposure; this is normal and does not affect performance.
