HilexH Fibreglass Exhaust Heat Wrap 50mm x 3mm - White
Using an exhaust heat wrap offers several benefits for both performance enthusiasts and regular vehicle owners.
Here are some of the advantages of using an exhaust heat wrap:
Heat Management: The primary purpose of an exhaust heat wrap is to manage and reduce the amount of heat radiating from the exhaust system. By wrapping the exhaust pipes and headers, the heat is contained within the exhaust, reducing the heat transfer to other components in the engine bay and nearby areas. This helps in lowering the overall temperature in the engine compartment and prevents heat-related issues.
Improved Performance: By keeping the heat within the exhaust system, the exhaust gases stay hotter for longer. This helps in maintaining the exhaust gas velocity and scavenging effect, which improves engine performance. The hotter gases exit the system faster, reducing backpressure and enhancing horsepower and torque output. Additionally, a cooler engine bay also promotes better overall performance by reducing heat soak and preventing power loss due to high temperatures.
Protection of Surrounding Components: The high temperatures generated by the exhaust system can potentially damage nearby components, such as wiring, hoses, and sensitive sensors. Heat wrapping the exhaust pipes acts as a barrier, protecting these vulnerable parts from excessive heat exposure and potential failure. It can also prevent heat-related issues like vapor lock, which can affect fuel delivery and engine performance.
Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: When the exhaust gases flow smoothly and efficiently through the exhaust system, it can improve fuel combustion and increase fuel efficiency. By reducing backpressure and maintaining exhaust gas velocity, an exhaust heat wrap promotes better scavenging of exhaust gases, resulting in improved engine efficiency and potentially better gas mileage.
Reduced Heat Soak: Heat soak refers to the phenomenon where the surrounding components and engine bay absorb and retain heat even after the engine has been turned off. Heat wrapping the exhaust system helps in reducing heat soak by containing the majority of the heat within the exhaust pipes. This can help in quicker cool-down times and prevent heat-related issues during subsequent engine starts.
Provided in a flat, bandage-like condition, HiIlexH Heat Wrap is designed to be wrapped tightly around the exhaust, allowing a better gas flow and therefore higher performance!
