Exhaust Heat Shields, Tape and Heat Wrap for Headers

To heat wrap exhaust, begin by wrapping around the start point of the exhaust pipe. Secure the end with a heat wrap strap. When wrapping, there should be a slight overlap. Continue wrapping until you reach the end of the section you want to wrap. Secure the end with another exhaust pipe clamp. The last step is an optional high temperature coating, which helps protect the material from deterioration.

To wrap motorcycle exhaust, use a motorcycle wrap kit. Wrap the headers with exhaust heat wrap after cleaning any loose contaminants, dirt, and debris from them. Start with each individual header tube from the top-down, securing the top with a high temp exhaust strap clamp (usually included in the kit). The wrap should slightly overlap. At the bottom, make one revolution around the collector. Once all of the tubes are wrapped and secured at the engine, wrap the merge collector. Begin by wrapping over the individual tubes at the end where they meet the collector, securing the individual tube wrapping. A larger exhaust wrap strap clamp can be used to secure the collector wrapping over top of the wrapped primary tubing. Lastly, complete the wrap to the end of the collector and secure with another large clamp. One additional step that helps secure your investment is hi-temp coating, which seals and protects the material, lengthening its life.

When wrapping headers with exhaust heat wrap, first clean the headers of any loose contaminants and debris. Next, wrap each individual header tube from the top-down, securing the top with a high temp exhaust clamp (usually included in the kit). The wrap should overlap slightly. At the bottom, make one pass around the collector. Once all of the tubes are wrapped and secured at the cylinder head section, wrap the collector. Begin by wrapping over the individual tubes at the end where they meet the collector. This will secure the individual tube wraps. A larger exhaust wrap strap clamp can be used to secure the collector wrapping over top of the individual tubing wrap. Lastly, complete the wrap to the end of the collector and secure with another large clamp. One option that helps secure your investment is high-temp coating, which seals and protects the material, lengthening its life.

The best exhaust heat wrap depends on the application and color preference. There are different kits for motorcycle, 4-cylinder, 6-cylinder, and 8-cylinder engines. There is also white, black, copper, as well as other color options. All brands offered by JEGS are made from high quality materials to last a long time before you would need to replace it. In addition, applying high temperature coating helps seal and preserve the wrap to protect it longer and keep it from deteriorating from the high temperatures, moisture, and elements.
