Pipe Shields solve the problem of needing spot heat protection for exhaust pipes and components. Extreme heat can rob power and potentially damage engines, transmissions, hoses, and sensitive electrical components. DEI, a market leader in thermal protection, has introduced a revolutionary advancement in pipe shield technology that greatly outperforms Mylar-backed glass fiber shields.
Key Features
- Other uses include isolated areas such as sections of the exhaust pipe after the collector, an area that can heat transmission fluid, or along the path of an exhaust system in proximity of gas tanks, differentials and rear facias.
- Pipe Shields solve the problem of needing spot heat protection for exhaust pipes and components.
- DEI's Titanium Pipe Shield combines the high heat tolerance of DEIÂ's proprietary LR fiber technology with a unique rivet-based clamp shield design to improve heat dissipation and cooling.
- Glass fiber shields can begin to fail at 900°F with the Mylar outer material cracking and flaking off.
- DEI's Titanium Pipe Shield provides heat protection up to 1350°F.
- The outer layer is made from pulverized and stranded lava rock into a proprietary tightly woven weave for durability and strength.
