header exhaust wrapsAutomotive mechanics throughout the world realize how vital lowering engine compartment temperature is for maximum horsepower production. Until just recently, lowering the engine compartment temperature was both costly and difficult. However, a new titanium header exhaust wrap solution exists that can easily lower the temperature in engine compartments by half.

Produced from crushed lava stone, titanium exhaust wrap has taken the performance automotive marketplace by storm. Unlike competing header exhaust wraps, this product applies effortlessly on exhaust manifolds and headers without the need of taking them off the vehicle. And with a better thermal rating then glass fiber wraps, titanium exhaust wraps are able to fulfill the objective of decreasing engine compartment temperatures at the lowest price possible. Usually, titanium exhaust wrap is priced around 20% more then the lower priced glass fiber wrap rolls.

Glass fiber header exhaust wraps often are stiffer then titanium exhaust wraps and must be moistened before application. Titanium exhaust wrap, on the flip side, is much more flexible and can be applied right out of the package. And unlike glass fiber wraps, there’s no need to apply a final coating of high temperature silicone.

About any vehicle owner can apply titanium header exhaust wrap by themselves, providing they already have the required equipment to raise the vehicle slightly off the ground. Where the wrap begins, it should be properly secured with a high temperature rated stainless steel tie. The wrap is then applied over every header tube with 1/4″ overlaps. In situations where header pipes are very close together, they are simply wrapped collectively. Where the header exhaust wrap stops, it should be secured with a stainless steel clamp. A lot of vehicle owners can perform this on their own in under a hour or two.

For the cost, titanium exhaust wrap provides one of the least expensive ways for car owners to reduce their engine compartment heat and also to reduce the damaging heat exchange that occurs from bare headers. Once applied properly, titanium exhaust wrap can reduce the air and fuel temperatures which contributes to a more efficient combustion process which produces increased horsepower. In the modern day automotive performance marketplace, squeezing every ounce of power from an engine affordably is welcomed by all vehicle owners.

This writer highly advocates using titanium header wrap on high performance automobiles. This publisher also is an automotive machinist with a great deal of practical experience helping vehicle owners obtain the maximum horsepower from their engines.
