50 FT Thermal Wrapping Yellow Heat Tape for Exhaust Manifold Headers

Heavy-Duty 50 FT Thermal Wrapping Yellow Heat Tape for Exhaust Manifold Headers

Reduces radiant heat and prevents thermal degradation: This 50-foot fiberglass extreme high-temperature exhaust wrap significantly lowers under-hood temperatures by keeping exhaust gases hotter, which accelerates exhaust scavenging and prevents surrounding component heat soak.

The Stock Heat Management Shortcoming

Factory exhaust manifolds and unprotected aftermarket tubular headers radiate massive amounts of heat directly into the engine bay. This radiant thermal energy leads to severe heat soak, which dramatically increases intake air temperatures (IATs) and reduces air density, robbing the engine of combustion efficiency and power. Furthermore, excessive ambient under-hood heat accelerates the degradation of nearby wiring harnesses, plastic fluid reservoirs, silicone hoses, and sensitive electronic sensors, leading to premature component failure and reliability issues under heavy track or towing loads.

The Engineering Solution

This universal 2-inch wide, 1/16-inch thick fiberglass thermal tape acts as a robust thermal barrier, rated to withstand extreme temperatures up to 3000° Fahrenheit. By insulating the exhaust runners, the wrap forces the thermal energy to remain within the exhaust piping. This maintains higher exhaust gas velocities, improving cylinder scavenging and overall exhaust flow dynamics. The package includes two 50-foot rolls and 12 stainless steel ties for a secure, tight installation. Technical Note: The material requires a short curing period upon initial heat cycling. Expect temporary smoke and discoloration (shifting to a grayish/brownish tone) for the first 1 to 5 days of operation as the internal binders burn off and cure.

Technical Specifications

The Quality Standard

Manufactured under strict quality control standards, this fiberglass wrap ensures rigorous durability under extreme heat conditions. Whether subjected to the sustained high EGTs of forced induction applications or the heavy thermal loads of a working rig, the wrap maintains its structural integrity without unraveling or failing.

Common Questions

Will this thermal wrap fit my vehicle's exhaust headers?
Yes, this 2-inch wide, 1/16-inch thick fiberglass wrap is a universal fitment designed for factory exhaust manifolds, aftermarket tubular headers, motorcycle pipes, marine exhausts, and industrial piping.

What is included in the package?
The kit comes with two 50-foot rolls of 2-inch wide, 1/16-inch thick yellow fiberglass thermal tape and 12 stainless steel ties to lock the ends in place.

How much heat can this exhaust wrap handle?
This fiberglass thermal barrier is rated to withstand extreme temperatures up to 3000° Fahrenheit without unraveling.

Is it normal for the wrap to smoke or change color after installation?
Yes, the fiberglass material goes through an initial curing period during the first 1 to 5 days of heat cycling. Temporary smoke and a color shift to a grayish or brownish tone are normal as internal binders burn off.

What does wrapping my exhaust headers do for performance?
Insulating the exhaust runners keeps thermal energy inside the piping, which maintains higher exhaust gas velocity for better cylinder scavenging while cutting down radiant under-hood heat soak.
