Black Titanium wrap goes on dry and holds that heat inside the pipes. Car Builders Premium Black Titanium Header Wrap is a 15m roll of tightly woven fibre made from pulverised lava rock, in 25mm or 50mm width. It keeps heat inside the header pipes, protecting the engine bay and cutting heat into the cabin. Car Builders recommend it for turbo setups. It needs no wetting and comes with 6 stainless ties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat problems does the Car Builders Premium Black Titanium Exhaust Header Wrap fix?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeader heat cooking the engine bay.\u003c\/strong\u003e The wrap holds heat inside the pipes and cuts the heat radiating out onto nearby parts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat coming through into the cabin.\u003c\/strong\u003e Less radiant heat off the headers means less getting into the interior.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItchy wet fibreglass wrap.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is not fibreglass and does not need wetting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWrap that frays and looks scruffy.\u003c\/strong\u003e The tight weave and black finish give a neat result, and Car Builders say it is stronger and more pliable than their other wraps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWrapping the pipes keeps exhaust heat inside them.
