Design Engineering Inc.: Flexible Heat Shields

Introducing a new finish option, flexible heat shields from Design Engineering Inc. provide maximum cooling and protection against extreme heat (up to 1,350 degrees Fahrenheit) on any auto, marine, or powersports application. Heat shields are also ideal for protecting gas tanks, body panels, bumpers, and more.

Previously available in Brushed Stainless and Brushed ONYX, DEI flexible heat shields are now offered in an ONYX Double Black with Black Cerakote trim. All heat shields can be purchased in 3.5” x 6” and 4” x 8” sizes. All finishes leverage a dual-layer design. The outer layer is made from heat-treated glass fiber infused with molten aluminum and formed into a tight weave. Inside is a high-temperature fabric made from 89% silica. DEI flexible heat shields include an innovative pipe stand-off formed with two 3.5” clamps to create an air gap for additional cooling, heat dispersion, and a no-drill installation.

Features

  • Provide heat protection against temps up to 1350°
  • Three finish options, including new ONYX Double Black with Black Cerakote trim.
  • Two size options: 3.5” x 6” and 4” x 8”.

Design Engineering, Inc. (050221): Boom Mat XL

Coming in at 4mm thick—166% thicker than DEI’s original damping material—the Boom Mat XL from Design Engineering, Inc. provides powerful noise damping for the most extreme commercial and sound-competition applications.

Boom Mat XL stops the audible vibration and rattling of interior panels by trapping the sound between the top skin and the asphalt-free butyl layer and provides sag-free performance on any interior surface (vertical or overhead) even in the hottest conditions. 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.

Available in a two pack (for door), five pack (for trunk), or 10 pack (for floor).

Features

  • High-performance adhesive maintains adhesion throughout temperature extremes.
  • Eliminates low-frequency noise problems.
  • Non-hazardous flexible material can be applied to irregular surfaces.
  • Easily trimmed to size with Boom Mat blade lock knife (050216).
  • User-friendly peel-and-stick installation.
  • Multiple uses including automotive, commercial, and industrial applications.
  • Durable, weatherproof construction is also corrosion resistant.
  • Flammability rated.

DEI: EXO Series Exhaust and Pipe Wrap

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.

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.
