Under-hood heat is a silent performance killer. It thins out intake air, boils brake fluid, and degrades expensive wiring looms. The Longacre 52-64870 Black Header Insulation Tape provides a professional-grade thermal barrier that keeps exhaust heat trapped inside the pipes where it belongs, while adding a clean, "blacked-out" aesthetic to your engine bay.
This 2" wide, 50-foot roll is the perfect length for wrapping mid-length headers, turbo downpipes, or motorcycle exhaust systems. By maintaining higher internal exhaust gas temperatures, this wrap increases exhaust velocity (scavenging), which can lead to measurable horsepower gains. The specialized black coating isn't just for looks; it helps resist the absorption of oils and fluids, maintaining its integrity and color longer than standard tan wraps.
Key Features
-
High-Density Thermal Barrier: Engineered to withstand continuous temperatures up to 1200°F, significantly reducing radiant heat in the engine compartment.
-
Sleek Black Finish: Provides a professional, aggressive look that hides dirt and grease better than traditional tan wraps, making it ideal for show-quality race cars and street builds.
-
Increased Exhaust Velocity: By keeping the exhaust gases hot, it reduces gas density and increases flow speed, potentially improving engine efficiency and power output.
-
Critical Component Protection: Acts as a shield for nearby spark plug wires, fuel lines, and steering components, preventing heat-soak and premature failure.
-
Optimal 2" Width: The industry-standard width for easy installation around tight radii and primary tubes, allowing for a precise 1/4" overlap.
