Heatshield Armor is a durable exhaust heat shield material designed to protect headers, mufflers, catalytic converters, and exhaust pipes from extreme heat. This step-by-step installation video shows how to install Heatshield Armor correctly for best performance. It covers required tools, proven techniques, and helpful tips to ensure a clean, professional install from start to finish. Watch the video to get started and achieve reliable heat control with confidence.

The outer armor of Heatshield Armor® features a 4-mil aluminum layer that resists the elements and delivers long-lasting durability. Inside, exclusive BioCool insulation bonds to heavy-duty foil and withstands continuous temperatures up to 1,800°F. This construction makes it ideal for exhaust systems, turbo manifolds, downpipes, and diesel particulate filters. When installed directly on components, Heatshield Armor outperforms clamp-on shields by containing heat at the source.

FAQ

Do I need tin snips to cut this exhaust heat shield material?

No, tin snips are not necessary. Heavy duty scissors or a fresh blade in a utility knife with a straight edge works great for cutting Heatshield Armor.

I am trying to determine the number of stainless-steel locking ties to hold the insulation in place. How many do I need to secure this heat shield insulation to my exhaust pipe?

For straight lengths of exhaust pipe, one tie per every 5-6 inches should be enough. For tighter bends like a 90 degree, one locking tie per every 3 inches on the outside of the bend works. Be sure you are using the wide ties as they grip the heat shield insulation better.

Can I use the Armor Weld Tape hold the Heatshield Armor in place?

NO, do not use the tape to hold the Heatshield Armor in place. You can use the wide stainless-steel locking ties we offer, or you may use a hose clamp, safety wire, or other mechanical fastener to hold in its place. Any adhesive backed product should not come in contact with the exhaust system.
