Thermo Tec Exhaust Insulating Wrap
Gives Safety with Performance
Tubular manifolds by design produce a vast amount of heat in the engine compartment. This increases the possibility of electrical/ignition components not working effectively and promotes a higher risk of fire (if any combustible material comes in to contact with the manifold), not to mention the likelihood of severe burns when working on the engine!
By wrapping your tubular manifold with Thermo-Tec insulating wrap you can overcome all these risk factors. Thermo-Tec keeps the heat within the exhaust manifold so the exhaust gases have a much higher velocity, this induces negative pressure (scavenging) which increases air intake flow, resulting in better performance & economy.
Technical Notes: Thermo-Tec heat wrap – which is race & rally proven – comes in rolls 2” wide x 50 feet long and moulds to the contours of the manifold. Being a Silica based fabric (it does not contain asbestos or carcinogens) it is unaffected by oil or water, withstands temperatures up to 1000 degrees Celsius and reduces under bonnet temperatures by up to 70%.
Snap-Strap Retaining Kit
We strongly recommend that you use Snap-Straps to retain the insulation wrap. These are Stainless Steel straps with a narrow profile (for tight spots) that you cut to length and fasten with ‘snap’ type heads.
Alternatively you can skin your knuckles and use hose clips!
