In the high-stakes environment of performance driving, managing engine bay temperatures is not a luxury—it's a necessity. Excessive heat radiating from the header manifold is a silent adversary, robbing power by increasing intake air temperatures, accelerating the degradation of sensitive electronic components, and posing a constant threat to critical wiring, brake lines, and fluid reservoirs. Simply wrapping the headers themselves often isn't enough to protect the surrounding ecosystem of your engine bay. This is where targeted, strategic heat management comes into play.

Introducing our professionally engineered Header Manifold Blanket—a sophisticated thermal barrier designed specifically to shield your vehicle's upper engine compartment from the intense radiant heat generated by the headers. This isn't a simple wrap; it's a custom-fit, durable solution engineered for simplicity, performance, and unparalleled protection.

Engineered for Superior Performance and Durability

Our heat shield's effectiveness stems from its advanced dual-surface construction, a result of meticulous material science. Unlike single-layer solutions, this design provides two distinct lines of defense, each engineered for a specific type of thermal threat.

• The Inner Defender: High-Temp Fabric Layer. Installed to face the header directly, this robust fabric side is formulated to withstand relentless, direct-contact heat up to 1,000°F (538°C). It acts as the first and most critical barrier, absorbing and dissipating the intense convective heat rising from the headers. This layer is exceptionally durable, maintaining its integrity and flexibility even after repeated thermal cycles, preventing brittleness and cracking common in inferior products.

• The Outer Shield: Aluminized Reflective Surface. The exterior of the blanket features a high-gloss, aluminized surface that faces the engine bay. This layer is your primary defense against radiant heat, capable of reflecting temperatures up to 2,000°F (1,093°C). Radiant heat is the energy that travels through the air and heats up everything it touches; by reflecting this energy back towards its source, the blanket dramatically reduces underhood ambient temperatures. Furthermore, this tough aluminized skin provides excellent resistance to abrasion, protecting the blanket from wear caused by engine vibration and contact. It also creates a non-porous barrier, making it impervious to oil, coolant, and other common underhood fluid spills that could stain or degrade other materials.

A Design Focused on Installation Ease and Secure Fit

We believe that high-performance parts should not require professional installation. Our Header Manifold Blanket is designed with the enthusiast in mind. Its flexible nature allows it to be easily maneuvered into the often tight and complex spaces above the headers. The integrated clipping system is ingeniously simple, securing the blanket firmly in place without the need for complex bracketry, special tools, or permanent modifications. This secure, "snug" fit is crucial—it prevents the blanket from shifting, flapping, or making contact with moving components, ensuring long-term reliability and peace of mind.

Pre-Configured for a Perfect Match to Your Engine

To ensure optimal coverage and performance, we offer the Header Manifold Blanket in two convenient, pre-configured kits. There is no guessing or custom fabrication required.

• Kit for V6 and V8 Engines: These engines typically feature two separate header assemblies on either side of the engine block. This kit provides two (2) precision-cut blankets, each measuring 20” x 24”, to ensure complete and symmetrical coverage for both banks, protecting components like the alternator, starter motor, and ignition coils.

• Kit for Straight-6 and 4-Cylinder Engines: With exhaust manifolds typically concentrated on one side of the engine, a single, larger blanket is the most efficient solution. This kit includes one (1) expansive 36” x 40” blanket, offering comprehensive protection for a wide area, which is ideal for safeguarding turbochargers, oxygen sensors, and adjacent engine bay walls.

Applications and Benefits: More Than Just a Heat Shield

The applications for this blanket are extensive. Whether you're building a track-day weapon, a high-horsepower street machine, or simply seeking to preserve the longevity of your daily driver's engine components, this product delivers tangible benefits.

• Increase Performance: By reducing underhood heat soak, you help maintain a cooler, denser intake charge, leading to more consistent power output.

• Enhance Reliability: Protect vulnerable sensors, wiring harnesses, and plastic components from heat-induced failure and premature aging.

• Improve Safety: Significantly lower the risk of accidental burns during underhood work and reduce the chance of fluid spills contacting extremely hot surfaces.

• Driver Comfort: For front-engine vehicles, reducing radiant heat lowers the firewall and cabin floor temperatures, contributing to a more comfortable driving experience.

Invest in Intelligent Protection

Don't let uncontrolled heat be the weakest link in your vehicle's performance and reliability chain. The Header Manifold Blanket is a smart, effective, and easily installed solution that pays dividends in power, protection, and longevity. Upgrade your thermal management system with a product designed to perform under pressure.
