Dirty Hooker Diesel - Thermal Products

These stainless ties work great for heat wrap on downpipes and up pipes. They are 1 time use. Sold by the piece.

Controlling under hood temperatures is crucial to protect electronics and rubber/plastic components. Its no secret our diesel engine bays are packed with hoses and electronics. Protect them by adding heat wrap to exhaust components. Up-pipes and downpipes are excellent candidates for heat wrap.

Features:

• 2" x 100ft Roll
• 1.5mm Thick Fiberglass

Notes for Installation:

• Use the right product. This header wrap is 1.5MM thick fiberglass, which is ideal for most street or race cars, trucks, bikes, or boats. It substantially insulates exhaust parts while allowing some of the heat to escape, preventing overheating and fatigue (or "burn-out", as it's sometimes called). Do not double wrap, and do not use too much overlap! The recommended amount of overlap to use is 1/4".
• Don't go crazy. There is definitely such a thing as too much exhaust insulation. Over-insulating exhaust parts is the primary cause of parts fatigue and early failure! There are probably over 100 different types of exhaust wrap, many promising better insulation at an increased price. But you don't want better insulation; you want exactly the amount of insulation that this product offers. If you use excessive overlap, double-wrap, or use overly aggressive exhaust wrap, you'll be much more likely to have problems. Furthermore, if you use too much exhaust wrap in the same place, it can actually prevent the metal from expanding properly, compounding the problem.
• Install dry. It's been suggested by some websites and manufacturers of exhaust wrap that you get it damp prior to installing. This makes it easier to install and gives you a better seal to hold in more heat. It's hard to say how much damage would be caused by this one-time moisture, but it probably doesn't help. Clean and dry your exhaust parts before installing, and install the product dry to get a good head start on rust prevention.
• Keep dry. The main reason exhaust wrap can cause premature rust is because it holds moisture. If you're cleaning your engine bay, go ahead and put a plastic bag over your wrapped headers - the cleaning supplies won't do much to clean the exhaust wrap anyways. If you happen to drive through a lake by mistake, consider removing the header wrap, drying, and re-installing. If you drive through a lake on purpose and regularly, using header wrap probably isn't the best idea... unless your components are stainless steel.

Important:

• Note: it is normal for exhaust wrap to smoke and smell funny for a couple hours after installation.

Features:

• 2" x 50ft Roll
• 1.5mm Thick Titanium Weave

Notes for Installation:

• Use the right product. This header wrap is 1.5MM thick titanium weave, which is ideal for most street or race cars, trucks, bikes, or boats.

DHD's double stitch titanium manifold blankets raise the bar for quality, fit and protection. These are NOT your average Amazon heat blanket. Our blankets are MADE IN THE USA with 2 ultra thick, tight woven silica imbedded layers of fiberglass. We have consistently had these blankets at 1,800°F with no signs of deterioration, and they are rated for exposures up to 3000 degrees! These same blankets can be found on our 2000HP Last Minute Hooker and Cheap Hooker.

Features:

• Double Stitched Exterior 
• Triple Stitched Fold
• Oversize Anchors Eliminate Pull Through
• EGT Ring Grommet Provision
• Symmetrical Left and Right Set
• Fits Tube or Cast Style High Flow Manifolds (DHD 300-120, PPE)
• Made in the USA for DHD
• Compare to PPE 116016000 Blankets

The use of manifold heat blankets can help the turbo spool faster, lower intake air charge temps, lower under-hood temps and reduce the chances of damaging wiring, plumbing or plastic components.
