A lava downpipe blanket, also known as a titanium downpipe blanket, is a high-performance thermal insulation designed specifically for turbo downpipes and exhaust systems. Made from pulverized volcanic rock fibers, the blanket is woven into a highly durable, flexible fabric capable of withstanding extreme temperatures. With continuous heat resistance up to 1,800°F (982°C) and peak protection beyond 2,500°F (1,371°C), it provides superior insulation in demanding performance environments.
By containing and controlling exhaust heat within the downpipe, the blanket helps maintain exhaust gas velocity, improving turbocharger efficiency and reducing turbo lag. At the same time, it dramatically lowers under-hood temperatures, protecting nearby components such as wiring, hoses, and intake systems from heat damage.
Unlike traditional fiberglass wraps, the titanium downpipe blanket offers excellent abrasion resistance, long-term durability, and resilience against road grime, fluids, and vibration. It is the ideal choice for performance vehicles, racing applications, and any build where heat management, efficiency, and reliability are critical.
Key Benefits:
Withstands extreme heat for continuous and peak performance.
Enhances turbo efficiency by retaining exhaust energy.
Reduces under-hood radiant heat for cooler intake air.
Protects vital components from heat damage.
Durable, abrasion-resistant, and built for long service life.
