  1. Heatshield Products Thoughts on 2019 and Hopes for 2020

    Heatshield Products Thoughts on 2019 and Hopes for 2020

    As 2019 enters its final hours, we find ourselves enjoying a cold libation and thinking back on what was a great year for Heatshield Products. Showing customers how to use our products in the right ways to solve heat issues, watching our Heatshield Products equipped racers run strong and take top honors, really getting things rolling on our ’66 Mustang and Ford F100 projects, we could write a whole blog about all the positives from 2019. Naturally this leads us to look ahead to what 2020 has in store for us, and what we hope to see. After some friendly discussion and jokes we decided to put a few things down on paper to share on the Heatshield Products blog.

It’s also why the heat from the exhaust system on a car or truck will always radiate upward. As that heat goes up, it hits the floorboard, then is transferred to the interior, which increases the amount of heat that the air conditioning system (if the vehicle has A/C) has to deal with – not to mention it’s felt by the feet, legs and even rearend of passengers.

    Heatshield Products has multiple products that can reduce this heat, including our Heatshield Armor exhaust insulation. We know that some people don’t want to put anything on th

  5. Heatshield Products Across the Pond

    Controlling heat, improving performance and protecting components from heat knows no borders. The same heat issues we face in the U.S. are the same as those faced by fellow enthusiasts all over the world.

    We recently had a chance to visit Old Hall Performance (OHP), based in the Coventry area of the U.K. The company offers high-quality automotive performance products throughout the European market.
