Breakdown of Our Best Exhaust Wrap Products: Which Is Best for You
Selecting the best exhaust wrap for your specific needs is the key to successful results. Not all exhaust thermal wraps are the same, and the simple truth is that you won’t get the full extent of your exhaust wrap’s benefits unless you’re using a product that aligns with your vehicle’s requirements.
Here at Heatshield Products, we realize that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to automotive heat shield products. That’s why we offer a wide range of exhaust wraps made from various materials and designed for specific use cases. If you’re not sure which automotive exhaust wrap to choose, don’t hesitate to reach out to our experts for a free, expert consultation.
Things to Consider Before Purchasing the Best Exhaust Wrap For Your Vehicle
Intermittent vs. Continuous Temperatures
In order to find the best heat shield product for your vehicle, it’s critical that you understand the difference between intermittent and continuous service temperatures. Many other companies only advertise their products’ intermittent temperatures, misleading customers about the true temperatures their wraps can withstand. At Heatshield Products, we provide accurate ratings for both intermittent and continuous service temperatures.
So, what’s the difference? Intermittent temperatures refer to how much heat the wrap can take for up to 30 seconds. Logically, that’s not going to provide an accurate picture of how hot your vehicle’s temperature can get with extended use.
The service temperature refers to how much heat the wrap can withstand with extended, long-term use such as when you’re driving.
For example, a company may claim that they have the best exhaust wrap because it can withstand 2000 degrees Fahrenheit—that’s the intermittent temperature. Now the service temperature could be 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, but you’ve been led to believe that as long as your vehicle doesn’t go over 2000 degrees, you’re good-to-go.
Now, after you’ve been driving for a few minutes and your wraps start disintegrating, you’re going to be left without the exhaust wrap benefits, not to mention a hole in your wallet.
This misleading advertising is a big reason why some people don’t believe that exhaust wraps work. They’ve had a negative experience because they used wraps that weren’t properly labeled.
At Heatshield Products, we want you to be able to find the best product for your vehicle with no gimmicks or falsehoods. That’s why we clearly provide intermittent and continuous service temperatures. What you see is what you get.
With that important information out of the way, here are some of the most popular wrap options:
Continuous: 1200 degrees Fahrenheit (649 degrees Celsius)
Intermittent: 2000 degrees Fahrenheit (1093 degrees Celsius)
This is the exhaust wrap that started it all. This wrap can reduce underhood temperatures by as much as 50 percent, leading to better performance and fuel economy while also preventing components from being damaged by excessive heat. This isn’t the best exhaust wrap for turbo or supercharged vehicles, but it’s very versatile and should fit most casual applications.
Continuous: 1200 degrees Fahrenheit (649 degrees Celsius)
Intermittent: 2000 degrees Fahrenheit (1093 degrees Celsius)
This wrap delivers the same specs as our original wrap, but it comes in our proprietary black color. Compared to other wraps on the market, our black exhaust wrap fades significantly less for a clean, uniform look that lasts.
Continuous: 1200 degrees Fahrenheit (649 degrees Celsius)
Intermittent: 2000 degrees Fahrenheit (1093 degrees Celsius)
If you need something exceptionally rugged and durable, check out our Lava Wrap. It’s made from basalt — crushed volcanic rock turned into extremely tough carbon-fiber. This wrap is 25% stronger than fiberglass wraps making it the clear choice for demanding environments.
While other companies might advertise higher temperature ratings, the truth is that basalt turns into a liquid at continuous temperatures of 1800 degrees or more. Our 1200-degree continuous rating is a real-world, race-track tested rating you can trust. Remember: We prioritize honesty over sales gimmicks, so you can anticipate accurate exhaust wrap benefits.
Continuous: 1350 degrees Fahrenheit (732degrees Celsius)
Intermittent: 2000 degrees Fahrenheit (1093 degrees Celsius)
If you’re on the hunt for pipe wrap, this is the one. It features a special weave that makes it easier to wrap around bends and hard-to-reach areas. This wrap also boasts a sleek carbon-fiber look. With a continuous temperature rating of 1350 degrees, you can count on this wrap to hold up to more extreme heat.
Continuous: 2000 degrees Fahrenheit (1093 degrees Celsius)
Intermittent: 3000 degrees Fahrenheit (1649 degrees Celsius)
This is a true 2000-degree wrap for extremely intense heat. This is far-and-away the best wrap for high-powered race cars, muscle cars, and other modified vehicles. It makes an ideal turbo manifold and forced-induction wrap as it will last years without getting brittle.
