Nice article from Merlin Motorsport on ‘HOW TO’ ARTICLE ON PACKING & WRAPPING YOUR EXHAUST. This includes – the difference between E-Glass and Basalt and how packing works.
Merlin has their own branded BASALT EXHAUST WRAP which comes in four colours – Brown, Natural, Black and White. These are hugely popular although they also stock the Thermo-Tec range of Cool-It exhaust wraps.
Exhaust wrap is primarily used on exhaust manifolds to shield important components close to it, but it is quite normal to have the whole exhaust system wrapped to shield the underside of the chassis too.
The idea of wrapping your exhaust is to move extreme heat further down the system and away from important components in the engine bay like hoses, wiring and bodywork.
These are Merlin-made Re-packable Exhaust Silencers (for competition use only). The silencers have a 6in diameter stainless steel main body but with mild steel ends, so can be welded.
Available in four different lengths and with 2.5in end pipe diameters.
