Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the exhaust component to be wrapped is cool to the touch.
- Begin wrapping at the exhaust manifold flange or the starting point of the section you wish to insulate.
- Overlap each layer of the wrap by approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch to ensure complete coverage and prevent heat escape.
- 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.
- 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.
