Product Details
Volcanic Rock Exhaust and Header Wrap by Heatshield®. Made from basalt fiber (crushed volcanic rock), our Lava Wrap™ has all the same benefits as exhaust wrap, but with a carbon-fiber appearance and improved durability. The Lava exhaust wrap is 25 percent stronger than fiberglass wraps, giving it prolonged life. Using Lava Wrap™ on a header and exhaust system maintains hotter exhaust gases, decreases gas density and allows the exhaust gases to flow through the system at increased velocities. Greater exhaust scavenging is produced, pulling intake gases through the cycle faster, helping to lower air-intake temperatures. This results in more horsepower and reduces radiant heat damage. Lava Wrap™ lowers underhood temperatures by as much as 50 percent. The Heatshield Products Lava exhaust insulating wrap withstands continuous temperatures of 1,200 degrees F and intermittent 2,000 degrees F. Please note this is a real-world-tested rating, so beware of inflated temperature ratings of similar basalt/volcanic rock products. Installation is easy: Wrap it around your exhaust pipe, using overlap to hold it in place (like a hockey stick or tennis racket grip) and use our Thermal-Tie™, hose clamps or wire products to secure the ends in place.

Exhaust wrap is a thermal insulator that keeps the heat inside the header, manifold, and exhaust system. This can deliver three great benefits: lower underhood temperatures, exhaust gas leaving the system faster, and a cooler interior temperature. From the everyday driver to the podium finisher, Heatshield Products has an exhaust wrap for you.
By wrapping exhaust pipe with an exhaust insulation you reduce how much heat can radiate from a wrapped header and exhaust tubing. You are retaining the thermal energy inside the exhaust system, this reduces the gas density. Thinner exhaust gas, improves exhaust gas velocity inside your exhaust system. This creates a scavenging effect that pulls intake gases through the system quicker, which helps to lower intake temperatures, creating more power.
For turbo applications this can help spool the turbo faster, and reduce the turbo "flutter" or chatter when pedaling the throttle. It also enables you to build boost faster, masking your launch at the starting line or out of that corner that much faster.
Tests have shown that header-pipe wrap can also lower underhood temperatures by as much as 50 percent. Lower underhood temps mean lower intake temperatures. This leads to creating even more power can also increase fuel mileage in some cases.
There is a personal comfort benefit as well. Less heat radiating from the exhaust system can significantly reduce the heat on the firewall and floorplans, resulting in less heat in the passenger compartment.
Heatshield Products manufactures a full line of exhaust wraps and header wraps, from basic to extreme, and in a variety of colors to suit your taste as well as your needs. All exhaust heat wraps and header wraps from Heatshield Products are asbestos-free and made from high-quality base fiberglass, basalt and silica materials. The exhaust wraps are water- and fungi-resistant, and will not cause the exhaust pipes to rust. You do not have to soak Heatshield Products wraps for installation, you can use a spray bottle to wet the header and exhaust wrap during installation.
