By wrapping your headers with Exhaust Insulating Wrap you can maintain hotter exhaust gases, which will exit the system faster as they are not as dense. As the gases exit the exhaust quicker, exhaust scavenging is improved, which in turn leads to lower intake temperatures. Cool-It Exhaust Insulation Wrap can withstand continuous temperatures of up to 1000 degrees C and will not over-insulate when properly installed. Cool-It Copper Exhaust Wrap improves even further by offering up to 30 percent more heat resistance thanks to a new copper coating that conducts the heat across the wrap's surface.

Product Information
Full details
This guide is for automotive enthusiasts and DIY mechanics looking to improve their vehicle's performance and reduce under-hood temperatures. The key benefit is increased horsepower and lower intake temperatures through improved exhaust scavenging. A caveat is that proper installation is crucial to avoid over-insulation. Cool-It Exhaust Wrap is designed to insulate headers, maintaining hotter exhaust gases for faster exit and improved scavenging, leading to potential power gains and a cooler engine bay. The copper variant offers enhanced heat resistance.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of using exhaust wrap?
The primary benefit is reducing under-hood temperatures and increasing horsepower by keeping exhaust gases hotter and exiting faster, which improves exhaust scavenging.
Can I use this on my turbocharger?
This product is designed for exhaust headers and manifolds. It is not recommended for turbocharger housings or other high-temperature components like exhaust tips.
How do I know which width and length of wrap I need?
Measure the circumference and length of the exhaust headers you intend to wrap. Available widths (like 1-inch and 2-inch) and lengths (like 15 feet or 100 feet) allow for customization. A 2-inch width is common for most automotive headers.
Does the wrap need to be replaced periodically?
When installed correctly, the wrap is durable. However, it should be inspected periodically for damage or excessive wear. Replacement may be necessary if it becomes compromised.
What is the difference between the standard and copper exhaust wrap?
The copper variant offers up to 30% more heat resistance due to its copper coating, which helps conduct heat across the wrap's surface more effectively than standard wraps.
Will this wrap make my exhaust system rust faster?
The wrap itself is designed to withstand high temperatures. However, it's important to ensure the exhaust system is properly maintained. The wrap can trap moisture if the exhaust system is prone to corrosion, so ensure good ventilation and consider rust-proofing if necessary.
Is it safe to install this myself?
Yes, with careful attention to instructions, it can be a DIY installation. Ensure you wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves and eye protection, during application.
Troubleshooting
Wrap is fraying or unraveling
Ensure the starting and ending points are securely fastened. Re-secure any loose ends with appropriate fasteners. Ensure the wrap was not over-tensioned during installation.
Exhaust leaks after installation
Double-check all connections and ensure the wrap is not obstructing any exhaust joints. Improper installation might cause minor leaks; re-seat and re-secure as needed.
Wrap seems to be over-insulating (e.g., causing other components to overheat)
This is rare and usually indicates an installation error or an exceptionally poorly ventilated engine bay. Ensure proper overlap and consider if the application is within the product's intended use.
Discoloration of the wrap
Some discoloration (e.g., turning brown or white) is normal due to extreme heat exposure and does not typically affect performance. This is a sign the wrap is working.
