50 FT Thermal Wrapping Black Heat Tape for Exhaust Manifold Headers

Keep your engine bay temperatures under control and protect your sensitive electronics from the extreme radiant heat of your exhaust manifold.

Performance Exhaust Header Thermal Heat Wrap for Universal Turbo & Naturally Aspirated Platforms

If you have ever spent time under the hood after a spirited canyon run or a few laps at the track, you know the heat soak struggle is real. Excessive under-hood temperatures don't just kill your performance by heating up intake charges; they cook your wiring harnesses, brittle your vacuum lines, and can even lead to premature alternator failure. For enthusiasts running tight engine bays—especially those with top-mount turbos or custom long-tube headers—managing that radiant energy isn't an option; it's a necessity.

This dual-roll fiberglass wrap kit is designed to trap the heat inside the primary tubes where it belongs. By maintaining higher exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), you actually improve scavenging and exhaust velocity, which can lead to faster spool times and better overall efficiency. We have sourced a high-grade fiberglass weave that remains pliable during the install, so you won't be fighting stiff, brittle material while trying to get a tight wrap around those difficult collectors or sharp bends in the manifold.

Unlike cheap knock-offs that turn grey and brittle after the first heat cycle, this black thermal tape is engineered to withstand 1800°F of direct contact and up to 2500°F of radiant heat. It’s also resistant to the inevitable oil spills and chemical grime found in a project car's engine bay, ensuring it won't break down or lose its structural integrity when things get messy during a fluid change.

Why You Need This Upgrade

• Substantial Temp Reduction: Dramatically lowers under-hood temperatures to protect plastic components and wiring.
• Improved Exhaust Scavenging: Keeps heat inside the pipes to maintain high gas velocity and improve engine efficiency.
• Extreme Heat Resistance: Rated for 1800°F direct / 2500°F radiant heat—perfect for turbo manifolds and downpipes.
• Chemical & Oil Durability: High resistance to oil spills, abrasions, and road grime for long-term reliability.
• Pliable Fiberglass Weave: Easy to wrap around complex header shapes without shrinking or cracking over time.
• Complete Kit: Includes 50 feet of wrap and 20 stainless steel ties to secure your work properly.

Installation Notes

Pro-tip from the shop: always soak the wrap in water before beginning the installation. This makes the material even more pliable and allows you to pull a much tighter wrap, ensuring it doesn't move once it dries and heat-cures. WARNING: Please use disposable gloves and long sleeves when handling this fiberglass tape. The tiny fibers can cause significant skin irritation if handled bare-handed. Expect some "smoking" during the first few heat cycles as the binders cure; this is normal and will subside quickly.
