Wrapping exhaust pipes is an important first step in controlling exhaust temperatures and reducing radiant heat to the side of your leg. Make extra horsepower and stop leaving your skin on your pipes.

DEI titanium exhaust wrap with LR technology is constructed from pulverized lava rock, extruded into fibers, and then woven into a tight weave, giving it titanium-like strength and toughness. This improvement in thermal protection helps to reduce underhood temperatures, resulting in cooler air intake for improved performance. And less heat in the engine bay means less chance of heat soak conditions on vital underhood components. Typical glass fiber wrap is rated at handling 1,200 degrees F of maximum direct heat, while Design Engineering's titanium wrap, using LR technology, is capable of handling direct continuous heat up to 1,800 degrees F and radiant heat up to 2,800 degrees F. And because it's pliable, there's no need to wet the wrap when wrapping headers or pipes, as many do in order to make the wrapping process easier to manage and to get a tight wrap. Titanium wrap will not shrink, and because of its material structure, it is more resistant to temperature and vibration breakdown, abrasions, and chemical and hot oil spills than glass fiber wrap. Plus, DEI's titanium wrap offers a very cool carbon fiber look as an added feature!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why do I want to wrap my headers or pipes?

Wrapping any type of exhaust piping is a crucial and important step when controlling exhaust temperatures and reducing radiant heat by up to 50 percent. Keeping exhaust gases hotter within the exhaust system helps in decreasing density and increasing the flow of exhaust gases. This improves exhaust scavenging which, in turn, reduces intake temperatures for increased horsepower gains.

What is exhaust wrap made of and does it contain asbestos?

DEI exhaust wrap rolls are primarily composed of composite fiberglass material that is treated with a proprietary coating developed by DEI to help increase the wraps thermal resistance when compared to the other brands. DEI wraps contain NO ASBESTOS!

Will wrapping my exhaust pipes make it rust?

If the exhaust pipe is made of mild steel, it may rust over time with or without exhaust wrap. If you are going to wrap any kind of steel pipe we recommend using our HT Silicone Coating to seal and protect the wrap and even the pipe you are wrapping. In addition, HT Silicone provides added thermal insulation and increases the longevity of your wrap.

Will the exhaust wrap work on my stock exhaust system?

Yes, it is perfectly compatible with all exhaust systems from Cast Iron to Stainless Steel. Not only that, but you can safely use the wrap on any kind of tubing metal or aluminum. This includes piping on an intercooler, turbo down pipe, air intake and intake manifold.

Why only a 1/4" overlap, isn't more better?

More is not always better when it comes to exhaust wrap. You can hold too much heat in the Pipe to the point of changing the molecular structure of the metal. This can cause premature wear of the tubes or fractured welds, overlapping 1/4" is fine as this allows just enough heat out to ensure performance without damaging the exhaust.

Can I wet the wrap for installation?

Wetting the wrap is actually recommended as it will make the material more flexible and aid in a much tighter wrap. Be sure to let the wrap dry completely before applying the HT Silicone Spray.
