DEI Titanium Exhaust Wrap - 25ft Roll x 2 Inch Wide

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. It reduces under bonnet temperatures for improved performance and protects components and bodywork from extreme heat. It is capable of withstanding extreme temperatures (up to 900°C direct temperature) and its pliable construction allows for easier wrapping. Design Engineering Titanium exhaust wrap is made from pulverized volcanic rock which is then strained, extruded and then integrated into a wrap type material. The wrap contains a material structure which allows it not to shrink, leaving you with peace of mind that once it is installed it will stay in place without escape of heat. It is also extremely resistant to temperature and vibration breakdown providing a product you can trust that lasts. Ideal for use on exhaust manifolds / headers and exhaust systems. The wrap is available in a range of sizes for particular applications.
The Design Engineering Titanium Exhaust Wrap is for automotive enthusiasts and mechanics seeking to improve engine bay temperatures and exhaust system efficiency. Its key benefit is superior heat resistance, keeping exhaust heat contained and cooler air accessible for better performance. A caveat is its specialized application requiring careful installation for optimal results. This wrap is constructed from pulverized volcanic rock, offering exceptional thermal insulation properties to reduce under-bonnet temperatures, protect components, and potentially boost induction system performance. It is designed for durability, resisting heat and vibration breakdown without shrinking after installation.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of using DEI Titanium Exhaust Wrap?
The primary benefit is significantly reducing under-bonnet temperatures by insulating the exhaust system, which can lead to improved engine performance and protection of nearby components.
What makes this wrap 'Titanium'?
The 'Titanium' designation refers to the material's origin from pulverized volcanic rock, processed into high-temperature resistant fibers, not actual titanium metal.
Can I use this on my stock exhaust manifold?
Yes, it can be used on stock exhaust manifolds, headers, and other exhaust system components to manage heat.
How much wrap do I need for a typical V8 exhaust manifold?
The amount needed varies based on the size and complexity of the manifold. A 25ft roll is suitable for many standard V8 manifolds, but it's recommended to measure and consult product-specific coverage charts if available.
Does the wrap need to be sealed or coated after installation?
No, the wrap itself does not require a sealant. Its effectiveness comes from the material's inherent thermal insulation properties.
Will this wrap corrode my exhaust components?
When installed correctly, the wrap should not cause corrosion. However, it's crucial to ensure the exhaust system is dry before wrapping and to inspect for moisture trapping over time.
What is the temperature rating of this wrap?
It can withstand up to 900°C (1650°F) direct continuous heat and 1300°C (2370°F) radiant heat.
Troubleshooting
Wrap appears to be loosening after initial heat cycles.
Ensure the wrap was secured tightly at the start and end points with appropriate fasteners. Re-wrap the section, maintaining consistent tension, and use additional fasteners if necessary.
Excessive smoke upon first startup after installation.
This is normal as manufacturing residues burn off. Run the engine at idle for 10-15 minutes in a well-ventilated area until the smoke subsides.
Difficulty achieving a tight wrap.
Soaking the wrap in water before application can increase its pliability, making it easier to conform to complex shapes. Ensure consistent overlap and tension throughout the wrapping process.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Exceptional heat resistance for superior thermal management.
Durable construction designed for longevity.
Aids in reducing engine bay temperatures for improved performance.
Protects surrounding components from extreme heat.
Easy to handle and install due to pliable nature.
Resists shrinking and vibration breakdown.
Cons
Requires careful installation to ensure effectiveness.
May require multiple rolls for larger exhaust systems.
Can be abrasive; gloves are recommended during installation.
Aesthetics are functional rather than decorative.
Effectiveness depends on proper application and sealing.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the exhaust component to be wrapped is cool to the touch and clean.
Start wrapping from the exhaust manifold or header flange, overlapping each layer by approximately 50% to ensure complete coverage and prevent heat escape.
Secure the end of the wrap firmly using DEI's stainless steel locking ties or high-temperature wire.
Trim excess material as needed.
Compatibility:
Compatible with most exhaust manifolds, headers, and exhaust systems.
Suitable for naturally aspirated, turbocharged, and supercharged applications.
Ideal for street and track use.
Care:
The wrap is designed for extreme heat and does not require regular cleaning.
Inspect periodically for any signs of excessive wear or damage.
Avoid direct contact with abrasive cleaning chemicals.
