See the Entire Thermo Tec Line at www.thermotec.com Thermo - Tec Exhaust Wrap
An innovative way to create more horsepower and reduce under hood temperatures. Wrapping headers creates hotter exhaust gases that exit the system faster thru decreased density. Increased exhaust scavenging is produced, along with lower intake temperatures. Withstands continuous heat up to 2000°F, and contains no asbestos. Available in 1", 2" and 6" widths. __________________________________ Hi Heat Coating
Use Hi-Heat Coating to finish off a clean and well protected exhaust insulating wrap application. Protects the wrap from abrasion and harmful liquid spills. Extra resins and binders toughen the surface and help extend the life of wrap by protecting it from friction, and seals the pores to minimize the penetration of harmful liquids. Available in black or aluminum colors. __________________________________ Snap Straps
Used to secure exhaust insulating wrap. The high temperature stainless steel straps
have a narrow profile to fit tight spots, and can be cut to the exact length
needed. Secure with easy-to-use slide through fasteners.
__________________________________ Header Manifold Blanket
Provides excellent heat retention for exhaust headers and manifolds. Simply clips into place on the upper portion of the header. The fabric side of the material should be facing the heat source, and the aluminized side facing away; offering protection from abrasion and harmful liquid spills. __________________________________ Thermo Sleeve
A seamless lamination of high temperature fabric to a highly reflective foil which provides protection from radiant heat for hoses and wires. Ultra light weight construction provides more insulating than traditional bulky rubber coated fiberglass. The aluminized sleeving reflects over 90 percent of radiant heat, and is fireproof and oil resistant. Packaged in 3 foot lengths. How Does Thermo Tec Work ? Think of exhaust gases as a piston moving down through the tubular system. As each pulse travels down the system, it creates a vacuum behind itself. The negative pressure behind each is the scavenging effect. As the velocity of the pulse increase, the negative pressures also increase. As you have an increase in velocity, the length of time that you have a negative pressure in the system is increased. The net result of high velocity to assist in scavenging is increased performance of the intake and exhaust system. Maintaining higher
exhaust temperatures throughout the system increases performance in many
ways. Think of exhaust gases as a heavy liquid such as an oil additive.
If the liquid were traveling down a tubular system in a cold state, it
would move very slowly. If you heat the liquid, the density of the fluid
changes. The liquid responds to the heat increasing its velocity.
Exhaust gases respond in the same manner. Higher temperatures in a
system increase the flow of the system. If the liquid is allowed to cool
in the system, it slows the flow of the liquid. By this illustration,
you can now see the importance of maintaining higher temperatures in an How does wrapping headers
increase horsepower? How much wrap is required
to do a set of headers? Why do you use only a 1/4
inch overlap and nothing more? Does the wrap overheat
exhaust components? When is it not
recommended to use header wrap on cast iron Can the header wrap be
used on a catalytic converter? What temperature will the
wrap withstand? Does the header wrap
contain asbestos? What kind of material is
the header wrap made of? Does the header wrap
retain heat better than ceramic coatings? Does header wrap increase
power and improve fuel mileage? Why is it necessary to
lean the motor down in most applications with the wrap? __________________________________________ Teegarden
