This kit supplies the material to build a custom heat barrier around exhaust, turbo, and engine-bay heat sources. It is a material kit for custom fabrication, not a vehicle-specific heat shield. It includes two thin stainless steel sheets and a larger ceramic fiber insulation mat.
The stainless sheets form the outer barrier and reflect and block radiant heat. The ceramic fiber mat adds insulation between the heat source and the component behind the shield. The mat has a self-adhesive backing for placement after trimming.
The material can be trimmed and shaped around the area being protected, such as exhaust tubing, manifolds, turbocharger areas, wiring, fluid lines, intake parts, and body panels. BOOST Products recommends trimming the ceramic mat, placing it around the component, forming the stainless sheet around it, and welding the shield assembly where appropriate. Final temperature reduction depends on source temperature, exposure time, airflow, and the finished shield design.
