Titanium Performance Exhaust Heat Wrap Tape - 50ft Roll x 1"" Wide
The Design Engineering Titanium Exhaust Wrap features a pliable construction allowing for easier i...The Design Engineering Titanium Exhaust Wrap features a pliable construction allowing for easier installation when wrapping. It can withstand higher temperatures than any other wrap found in the market today - up to 900°C direct and 1300°C radiant. This benefits the application as heat is kept in the exhaust system and out of the engine bay area, reducing under bonnet temperatures and releasing the potential of cool air accessing the induction system. Reduces under bonnet temperatures for improved performance, protects components and bodywork from extreme heat, and is capable of withstanding extreme temperatures (up to 900°C direct temperature). Its pliable construction allows for easier wrapping. Design Engineering Titanium exhaust wrap is made from pulverised volcanic rock which is strained, extruded, and integrated into a wrap type material. The wrap contains a material structure which allows it not to shrink, ensuring it stays in place without heat escape. It is also extremely resistant to temperature and vibration breakdown, providing a durable product. Ideal for use on exhaust manifolds / headers and exhaust systems. The wrap is available in a range of sizes for particular applications.
This guide is for automotive enthusiasts and DIY mechanics seeking to manage exhaust system heat. The Design Engineering Titanium Exhaust Wrap's key benefit is its superior heat resistance, keeping exhaust heat within the system and cooler air in the engine bay for potential performance gains. A caveat is that proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and longevity.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of using this exhaust wrap?
The primary benefit is its ability to significantly reduce under-hood temperatures by keeping heat within the exhaust system, which can lead to improved performance and protect surrounding components.
What temperatures can this wrap withstand?
It can withstand direct temperatures up to 900°C (1650°F) and radiant temperatures up to 1300°C (2370°F).
Do I need to remove the exhaust system to install this wrap?
While it is easier to install with the exhaust component removed, it is possible to wrap components while they are still attached, provided there is sufficient access. However, removal often leads to a cleaner, more professional installation.
What is the wrap made of?
The wrap is made from pulverized volcanic rock that is strained, extruded, and integrated into a wrap material.
Will this wrap shrink over time?
No, the material structure is designed to prevent shrinking, ensuring it stays in place and maintains its insulating properties.
What is required to secure the wrap?
High-temperature resistant stainless steel locking ties are recommended for securing the wrap. These are typically sold separately.
Can this wrap be used on any part of the exhaust system?
Yes, it is ideal for exhaust manifolds, headers, downpipes, and other sections of the exhaust system where heat management is critical.
Troubleshooting
Wrap is difficult to bend around tight curves.
Slightly moistening the wrap before application can increase its pliability. Ensure you are overlapping sufficiently to create a smooth transition.
Securing ties keep breaking.
Ensure you are using high-quality stainless steel locking ties rated for high temperatures. Overtightening can also cause ties to break; tighten them firmly but avoid excessive force.
Wrap appears to be unraveling after some use.
Check that the initial and final sections of the wrap are securely fastened with locking ties. Ensure adequate overlap and consider adding additional ties at intervals if needed.
Discoloration of the wrap.
Some discoloration, particularly towards the front of the wrap on the exhaust system, is normal due to high heat exposure. This does not typically affect performance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Superior heat insulation capabilities
Durable and long-lasting material
Aids in reducing under-hood temperatures
Improves ease of installation due to pliability
Protects sensitive engine components from heat damage
Cons
Requires careful installation to achieve full benefits
May require specialized tools for secure fastening
Potential for dust during handling due to volcanic rock composition
Not intended for direct contact with fuel or oil lines
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Preparation: Ensure the exhaust component is cool and clean before application.
Wrapping: Begin wrapping the exhaust component, overlapping each layer by approximately 25-50% of the wrap width.
Securing: Use stainless steel locking ties (sold separately) to secure the wrap at the beginning and end of the section, and at intervals along the length as needed. Ensure ties are tightened securely.
Finishing: Trim excess wrap and secure the end.
Compatibility:
Ideal for exhaust manifolds, headers, downpipes, and other sections of the exhaust system.
Suitable for naturally aspirated and forced induction engines.
Recommended for use on vehicles operating in high-temperature environments or under sustained high loads.
Care:
The wrap is designed to be a permanent, low-maintenance solution. Once installed, it requires minimal care.
Periodically inspect the wrap and securing ties for any signs of damage or loosening.
Avoid direct contact with cleaning solvents or degreasers that could compromise the material.
Cleaning can be done with a damp cloth if necessary, but is generally not required.
