Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.

Made of 10 mil dimpled aluminum with a 1/4" thick layer of high-temperature basalt insulation.

It can withstand temperatures of up to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit when exposed to direct sunlight.

Woven fabric insulator made of basalt with exceptional heat-reflective and heat-blocking properties.

It molds easily to exhaust manifolds, pipes, and mufflers and can be applied directly to hot surfaces.

Easily trimmed to size; ideal for use as a heat barrier for transmissions in close proximity to hot exhausts.

Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use this with aftermarket turbo manifolds, down pipes, and turbo exhaust housings?

Yes, it is possible. Take your time, work slowly, and use hose clamps to create/hold the shape until you're ready to install your stainless ties.

What are your options for chopping this stuff up? Are you using regular scissors? Tin snips, you say?

I've successfully cut this material with both metal shears and tin snips. Metal shears or heavier-duty scissors designed for cutting sheet metal performed admirably. This shield's metal side isn't overly thick or difficult to cut through. I would not, however, use standard paper-cutting scissors. They're not going to be able to get past it.

Is this something that could be used to replace the insulation in a dog house for a van?

I wouldn't use it in any situation where it might come into contact with a human or animal.

Is it possible to use this behind a Blackstone 36" griddle to prevent a fire from spreading to the Woodshed wall?

That is something I am not sure about. It is intended for use as a heat shield for engines. It all depends on how hot your griddle gets and how far away it is from the wood. It could work if it's at least twelve inches away.

I'd recommend it to others

5/5

This was put in place to protect the AC line and the slim ac fan that I had installed. Without it, the air conditioner only worked when I was moving. It now works all of the time and has significantly reduced engine bay temperatures. Instead of wrapping around one side, I plan to switch headers and fully wrap my next header, as it smokes and stinks for a few days. There is very little smoke. Only noticed when stopped at a red light with a window or fresh air vent open. After a few days, it stopped smoking and smelling.

It does an excellent job of insulating against heat

5/5

This stuff is fantastic at insulating you from the heat. I used it to make a heat shield for my starter, as well as wrapping some around it for added protection. I'm no longer experiencing any hot starts.

Protect yourself from the heat

5/5

Bendable, strong, and able to withstand high temperatures while preventing a wire from becoming burned if it becomes loosened.

It's a perfect replacement for your car's heat shield

5/5

It's ideal for cutting any size and shape heat shield you require. To keep things in place, I used stainless straps. I removed the resonator xpipe and it worked perfectly as a replacement for my stock heat shield.

It really works

5/5

It's absolutely incredible. And the sheet is much larger than I had anticipated. With the amount you get, you could wrap the headers around one car. It really works.
