Product Information
Full details
The Design Engineering Titanium Exhaust Wrap is designed for vehicle owners seeking to maximize engine performance and ensure safety by managing extreme heat. Its primary benefit is reducing under-hood temperatures, which maintains exhaust gas velocity and prevents performance loss. A key consideration is the proper installation technique to achieve optimal results and durability. This wrap offers superior heat resistance, durability, and flexibility for a wide range of automotive and motorcycle applications.

FAQs
Does the wrap need to be pre-wetted before installation?
No, the Design Engineering Titanium Exhaust Wrap is designed to be installed dry and can withstand direct heat up to 1800°F and intermittent heat up to 2500°F without pre-wetting.
What is the difference between Titanium wrap and other heat wraps?
The Titanium wrap is made from volcanic lava rock fibers, offering superior heat resistance and durability compared to fiberglass wraps. Its proprietary weave also allows for easier wrapping around curves.
How much wrap do I need for my vehicle?
The amount of wrap needed depends on the length and diameter of the exhaust components you intend to cover. It is recommended to measure the sections and consult product specifications or online calculators for guidance.
Can this wrap be used on a motorcycle exhaust?
Yes, this wrap is ideal for motorcycle exhausts, helping to reduce heat felt by the rider and protecting nearby components.
Will wrapping my exhaust void my warranty?
Modifications to exhaust systems can potentially affect manufacturer warranties. It is advisable to check your vehicle's warranty documentation or consult with the manufacturer.
How long does the exhaust wrap typically last?
The lifespan of the exhaust wrap depends on the operating temperatures, environmental conditions, and installation quality. However, due to its robust construction, it is designed for long-term durability under extreme heat.
What are the advantages of keeping exhaust gas velocity high?
Maintaining high exhaust gas velocity helps to improve engine scavenging (removing burnt gases efficiently), reduce heat soak in the exhaust manifold and turbine, and can lead to increased horsepower and throttle response.
Troubleshooting
Wrap is not staying tight
Ensure consistent tension is applied during wrapping. Use high-quality stainless steel ties or clamps to secure the ends firmly. Ensure the exhaust component is properly prepared and free of grease or debris before wrapping.
Excessive heat still transferring
Verify that the wrap is overlapped correctly (approx. 50%) and covers the entire section of the exhaust. Check for any gaps or compromised areas in the wrap. Ensure the correct side of the wrap (if applicable) is facing outwards according to manufacturer recommendations.
Wrap appears to be fraying or degrading quickly
Confirm that the wrap is rated for the specific temperatures being experienced. The Titanium wrap is rated for extreme heat, but exceeding these limits can cause premature wear. Ensure proper installation techniques are followed, as improper tension can stress the material.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces exhaust and under-hood temperatures.
- Maintains exhaust gas velocity for better performance.
- Highly durable and resistant to extreme heat.
- Flexible weave allows for easy and secure installation.
- Protects components and occupants from heat-related damage.
Cons
- Requires careful installation to ensure effectiveness and longevity.
- May require additional accessories like high-temperature ties for secure fastening.
- Can be labor-intensive to wrap complex exhaust systems.
- The silver color may become discolored over time due to extreme heat exposure.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the exhaust component (headers, pipes) is cool and clean.
- Begin wrapping at the exhaust port or manifold, securing the end with a clamp or high-temperature tie.
- Overlap each subsequent layer by approximately 50% of the wrap's width.
- Maintain consistent tension throughout the wrapping process to ensure a tight fit.
- Secure the final end of the wrap firmly with a clamp or high-temperature tie.
Compatibility:
This wrap is designed for universal fitment on most exhaust systems, including:
- Cars
- Trucks
- SUVs
- Motorcycles
- Race Cars
It is compatible with various exhaust materials, including stainless steel and mild steel.
Care:
- The wrap is designed to withstand extreme heat and environmental conditions.
- Periodically inspect the wrap for any signs of fraying, tears, or loose sections.
- If the wrap becomes excessively dirty, it can be wiped down with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Ensure any clamps or ties used to secure the wrap remain tight.
