The Lava Header Armor heat shield enhances engine performance by retaining heat within the headers and exhaust system, increasing exhaust gas temperatures and velocities for improved flow and power output. Its innovative design, featuring a Lava Shield carbon-fiber look, provides superior heat reduction compared to wraps and ceramic coatings while allowing tubes to breathe and preventing corrosion. By cutting under-hood heat and preserving warranties, it offers a durable and efficient heat-management solution.

FAQ

What is Lava Header Armor, and how does it improve engine performance?

Lava Header Armor is a heat shield that helps your engine produce more power by retaining heat within the headers and exhaust system. This increases exhaust gas temperatures and velocity, improving exhaust flow, scavenging efficiency, and overall engine performance.

How is Lava Header Armor different from traditional header wraps?

Unlike header wraps, which completely enclose individual header tubes, Lava Header Armor uses a single shield (or customizable segments) to cover one side of the primary tubes. This design reduces 50% more heat than exhaust wraps and up to 80% more than ceramic coatings while still allowing the tubes to breathe.

What are the benefits of using Lava Header Armor over ceramic coatings?

Lava Header Armor offers superior heat reduction compared to ceramic coatings, lowering under-hood temperatures and improving performance. Additionally, it helps maintain most header corrosion warranties since it allows airflow around the pipes, preventing moisture buildup and corrosion.
