Straight from the innovators at Design Engineering, Inc., Under Hood Thermal Acoustic Lining greatly reduces heat and noise generated in the automotive engine compartments of today’s modern modified vehicles. Installing via a simple peel-and-stick 5 ml acrylic adhesive that produces a permanent bond, the 3/4” thick, marine-grade acoustical foam is reinforced with a reflective aluminum skin. This material not only insulates the underside of the hood, but it also protects your vehicle’s paint finish. In addition, DEI’s Under Hood Thermal Acoustic Lining can be used as a noise-control solution on generator boxes, industrial HVAC scenarios, and similar applications.

Features

  • Insulate from heat while reducing noise and vibration.
  • Peel-and-stick self-adhesive creates a permanent bond.
  • Protects paint finishes.
  • 3/4” thick and 32” x 54” (12 sq. ft.).
  • Temp range: -45° F to 275° F.

Doing its job with only 25–50% coverage, the DEI Boom Mat XL saves weight, cost, and time and is the industry standard for vibrational-damping technology.

The Design Engineering, Inc. EXO Series™ exhaust wrap is designed for use in extreme environments. Traditional exhaust wraps have not been able to withstand the dirt and water that can accompany off-road, dirt track, desert, and other forms of intense driving. The EXO Series features a dual-layer design that incorporates a combination of high-temperature glass covered with a 304-grade stainless steel exoskeleton. This unique construction maintains high heat protection while offering superior abrasion and impact shielding. What’s more, DEI’s unique Air Gap Technology keeps the glass fiber wrap from directly contacting the hot surface by way of an insulating air barrier.

The EXO Series exhaust wrap comes in a special 1.5” width, making it easy to install on any type of header, exhaust pipe, or exhaust system; this size also makes it perfect for high-impact spot protection. In addition, the stainless steel exoskeleton locks together when overlapped, keeping the wrap tight and making installation easy. Delivering outstanding looks and rugged performance over the long haul, this product is available in Black or Tan in either 1.5” x 10’ or 1.5” x 20’ rolls.

DEI (010383): Fuel Injector Reflective Heat Covers

In hot temperatures, both performance and factory fuel injectors can be at risk of vapor lock or heat soak, which can cause a rough idle, slow starting, or other potential serious engine problems. DEI’s Fuel Injector Reflective Heat Covers (010383, 8 pack) solve this problem by reflecting both direct and radiant heat away from the injectors. Constructed of high-temperature-rated glass fiber material bonded to a heat-reflective aluminized material, these DEI covers can be used on most engine configurations that use stock or aftermarket fuel injectors. Cooler fuel injectors will perform more efficiently, offering a more consistent throttle response.

Installation is a breeze, as the injectors do not have to be removed. The covers feature a split design, allowing them to wrap around each individual injector, and are secured with a sewn-in hook-and-loop fastening edge.

First up, DEI’s Jeep Header Wrap Kit, is designed to prevent plug wire and boot melting when installing shorty headers on your 2007–2011 Jeep JK V6. The kit has everything you need for a typical set of shorty headers:

  • Two 25’ rolls of Titanium Exhaust Wrap
  • Eight 9” stainless positive locking ties
  • Four 14” stainless positive locking ties
  • Six 8” Titanium Spark Plug Boots

The American-made components withstand temperatures up to 1,350 degrees and resist many hazards of the engine bay, including solvents, oils, fuel, acids, and chemical spills.

Next are two new thicknesses for DEI’s Boom Mat, which dampens sound on the most extreme commercial and sound-competition applications. The new 2mm (33% thicker) and 4mm (166% thicker) versions combine aluminum-stiffened top skins with asphalt-free, pure-butyl, noise-constraining layers to control noise generated by vibrating interior panels—including in the most high-temperature situations.
