Black Exhaust Wrap
Black exhaust wrap reduces radiant heat from exhaust systems by as much as 50%. With a deep black coating (not grey), this will retain more heat in the exhaust system and increase scavenging.
- Dark black header and exhaust wrap
- Reduces exhaust related heat up to 50%
- Proprietary black fades less than other products
- Made in the USA
Reduce Temperatures with Our Proprietary Black Exhaust Wrap
Insulate your exhaust and keep your vehicle cool with our high-quality black exhaust wrap. Featuring a proprietary black coating, black exhaust headers hold their color for longer than similar graphite-coated wraps ensuring that your vehicle looks as cool as it feels.
Boost Horsepower with Increased Scavenging
When you insulate your exhaust pipe with our thermal exhaust wraps, gas density decreases, and exhaust gases are pulled through the system faster. This scavenging effect accelerates the exhaust cycle, lowering intake temperatures and increasing horsepower.
50 Percent Lower Underhood Temperatures
Our black exhaust wrap is designed to withstand continuous temperatures up to 1200°F and 2000°F intermittent to reduce radiant heat damage and lower underhood temperatures. This high-performance wrap has even demonstrated the ability to lower exhaust generated underhood temperatures by up to 50%!
Easy Installation
To install our black exhaust pipe heat wrap, begin wrapping at the top of your exhaust pipe working downwards like you would with a hockey stick or tennis racket. Once finished, the ends can then be secured with our Thermal-Tie™ clamps or Tie Wire™ products. We always recommend starting your exhaust wrap at the top of the exhaust pipe because that is where a tight wrap makes the most difference in temperature reduction and an increase in the scavenging effect.

Why does your exhaust wrap have a lower temperature rating than (Brand) *** or *********?
Fiberglass has an operational/service temperature of 1000 F. With coatings this can be improved to 1200 F. We acknowledge advertising our fiberglass wraps to have a lower temperature rating doesn’t help us in sell over another brand. We strive to be honest in our operational and peak temperatures. While it is true the fiberglass wraps can sustain a flash temperature of 2000 F, this is for less than 30 seconds.
Do I need a spray on silicone coating for your wrap?
No, good quality wraps do not need a silicone coating to work. While coating the wraps is not necessary, we do understand the desire to upkeep a certain cosmetic appearance, we can respect that. Instead of using a silicone spray (silicone is good for about 450 F continuous, spray-able silicone is good for 300 F max) we would recommend hitting a local auto parts store. Walk in and grab yourself a can of exhaust paint in your desired color. Exhaust paint is a ceramic based paint (usually rated between 1500 F and 2000 F), it will last a lot longer than a silicone paint and work better too. Look for a brand like VHT or Dupli-Color.
People say wrapping your exhaust pipes causes them to rust, is this true?
Short answer, no. Fiberglass, basalt (lava Wrap), and silica (Inferno Wrap) are all naturally water-resistant fibers. This means, they will resist and repel water. A properly installed wrap will actually prevent less moisture from touching the exhaust pipe. Pipes that are completely saturated, like in a flood or extreme driving condition would see some water getting through to the pipe. However, the increased exhaust gas temperatures would cause that moisture to evaporate relatively quickly.
Why does my exhaust wrap smoke when it is new? Is this bad for me to breath in?
Short answer, no. The smoke you see is a starch, the starch goes on the fibers when the fibers are still raw. This is to aid in the knitting process. The smoke you are seeing is the starch burning off when you first couple of heat cycles the motor. While it isn't harmful to breath in, we wouldn't advise it, it stinks - don't hot box in your garage!
I have heard soaking the wrap when I install it will cause it to shrink and fit the pipe better, is this true?
Short answer, no. We are dealing with fiberglass, basalt, or silica fibers here, not cotton. These fibers do not shrink like some of your clothes would. Soaking may cause a tighter fit because wetting the wrap significantly reduces the amount of fibers. With fewer fibers floating around, you are less itchy, that allows you to take your time and get the wrap nice and tight. Patience is key when wrapping any pipes. Wetting it will also aid in causing the wrap to “stick” itself better when coiling around a pipe, again aiding in installation, but technically it does not shrink to fit the pipe. Soaking is not necessary, you can dampen the wrap with a spray bottle, but soaking is not necessary.
