DEI

DEI (Design Engineering Inc.) has been producing automotive heat and sound control products for over 25 years, creating thermal wraps, exhaust heat shields, heat blankets, acoustic damping mats, and firewall insulation for performance street cars, race vehicles, and marine applications. DEI products address the heat and noise that performance builds generate, protecting nearby components and improving cabin comfort without adding significant weight.Popular UpgradesDEI Titanium exhaust wrap is the most popular product in the DEI catalog, reducing radiated heat from headers and exhaust pipes to protect nearby fuel and brake lines while also slightly improving exhaust gas velocity by keeping temperature higher in the pipe. DEI Gold Heat Shield is widely used to protect fuel rails, brake lines, and electrical harnesses routed near exhaust manifolds and turbocharger housings. Reflect-A-Gold insulation and EzCool acoustic mats are popular for firewall and floor pan heat and sound reductio...

Fabrication

Fabrication

Fabrication parts and materials provide the raw components needed to build, repair, and modify custom exhaust systems, turbocharger plumbing, intercooler piping, fuel system lines, oil routing, and engine bay heat management on performance and competition vehicles. Stainless steel tubing, titanium tubing, aluminum charge piping, mandrel bends, pie cuts, flanges, merge collectors, V-band clamps, O2 sensor bungs, AN fittings, PTFE hose kits, braided fuel and oil lines, heat shields, and welding supplies are the backbone of any serious custom fabrication project. Professional fabricators, race team mechanics, and advanced DIY builders who want full control over exhaust routing, charge pipe layout, or fuel system plumbing choose raw fabrication materials rather than pre-bent kits because custom fabrication allows fitment solutions that no universal kit can accommodate. Brands including Vibrant Performance, Ticon Industries, Stainless Bros, Radium Engineering, Fragola, and DEI provide th...
