Heatshield Products Heatshield Armor exhaust insulation is one of the most effective, efficient thermal barrier materials on the market. Its specially formulated BioCool material reduces the amount of heat an exhaust pipe radiates up to 70 percent. That heat is kept in the pipe/exhaust system, helping to improve exhaust system performance through increased exhaust gas temperatures (EGT) and exhaust gas velocities. But we’re often asked why it’s necessary to leave a gap when installing Heatshield Armor on exhaust pipes and not fully wrap/insulate the exhaust pipe?

Installing Exhaust Insulation Does the Following:

• Reduces radiated exhaust heat and heat exposure under-vehicle components are subjected to

• Improve
