EXHAUST WRAP !! WHY THEY ARE DONE ?? EXPLAINED !

Traditionally, exhaust headers were wrapped only in race cars or bikes. Now that everyone wants to feel extra racey with their street car or they're trying to maintain a track-day car, many more cars and bikes are getting their headers wrapped.

Exhaust wraps are simple theory i.e. to keep the exhaust gases heated till they pass out of the exhaust system. This proposition works in several ways to improve the performance of the vehicle. By insulating the exhaust pipes including the headers, mid section and the end, the exhaust gases are not allowed to cool as they pass through the system. 

As the exhaust gases are hot, their density is less, thus allowing the gases to travel faster through the exhaust system. As the speed of the exhaust gases is higher, there is better scavenging of the combustion chamber. Due to the better scavenging effect, the fresh charge fills the combustion chamber more efficiently. At another level, as the heat front the exhaust gases is not being allowed to radiate out throughout the exhaust pipes all the areas in the vicinity of the exhaust pipes routing run cooler thereby promoting a cooler running engine.

Second benefit is a smoother running vehicle and mellowed sounding exhaust note.

Another benefit is in cars, where everything comes in under the hood. Which means the heat from the exhaust headers are radiated into the engine bay. The filter box provides excellent insulation from this too.

Installing wrap on your motorcycle exhaust or car headers is simple. Grab one of our recommended kits and start wrapping. In about an hour you’ll have an exhaust system that looks brand new.
