Great question! Our Funk Motorsport Reflective Tape and Sheets are designed to reflect away radiant heat. They are made of a thin ceramic fibre weave, topped with either Gold or Silver Reflective Foil.

Our Funk Motorsport Reflective Heat Blankets however, have an entirely different function. Our Reflective Heat Blankets are made of a 1mm thick ceramic fibre blanket, which is then topped with Gold or Silver Reflective Foil. The blankets act as a Heat Barrier, protecting against convectional heat transfer, while the layer of foil on the external face works to reflect away radiant heat. Perfect for firewalls, bulkheads, and exhaust tunnels or for intake applications where you need a little more protection.

You may have seen applications where Funk Motorsport Gold Reflective Heat Tape has been used on intake pipework. Let’s explain why.

Air Intake Temperatures (AITs) are extremely important. When air enters your engine, you need it to be as dense as possible. The denser the air within your engine, the bigger the bang, and the more power your car will produce. The key? Ensuring your air intake temperatures are as cool as possible. Colder air is denser than warmer air so it is important to ensure that your air intake temperatures are as low as possible for consistent power delivery over time.

All of our products are made from the best materials for the job. This is where Silver and Gold come in. Both are naturally reflective to help reflect away radiant heat. Silver reflects up to 80% of radiant heat, where Gold reflects away up to 90% of radiant heat. Perfect for keeping Air Intake Temperatures as low as possible. In the case of our Reflective Heat Blankets, ceramic fibre blankets are topped with our Gold and Silver Reflective Foil to allow them to reflect away radiant heat as well as fighting against convectional heat transfer.

Yes! When purchasing from us here at Funk Motorsport, everything you need is included in the packaging. Receive 6 metal locking ties with any roll of Funk Motorsport Lava Rock Titanium Exhaust wrap and the necessary retaining springs to install when purchasing a Wrap Around Exhaust Blanket.

Unlike other manufacturers on the market, we do not charge extra for these essentials.

Our Funk Motorsport Titanium Lava Rock Exhaust Wrap is a fantastic product that reduces temperatures of around 700-800°C down to approx. 300°C. For most applications this significant temperature drop meets a customer’s requirements.

In some cases however, applications require a higher level of protection, that’s where our Wrap Around Exhaust Blankets come in. Our Funk Motorsport Exhaust Wrap Around Heat Blankets are made from the same materials and construction methods as our Turbo Blankets, reducing temperatures of around 700-800°C down to less than 100°C on the external face. Huge temperature reductions.

Great question. You will notice that we offer one style of exhaust wrap, and one style only – our Funk Motorsport Lava Rock Titanium Exhaust Wrap.

You may have seen other brands offering exhaust header wrap in a variety of colours and finish options, sadly these are fiberglass wraps. Fiberglass wraps have huge downsides including losing their colour and becoming extremely brittle and flaking off over time.

Here at Funk Motorsport, our Titanium Lava Rock Exhaust wrap is a ceramic wrap compiled with a blend of basalt and lava rock for unrivalled performance and durability. It will not lose its colour or become brittle overtime like cheap fiberglass alternatives.

Our Funk Motorsport Titanium Lava Rock Exhaust Wrap is available in two different widths, 25mm (1 inch), or 50mm (2 inch) to suit various applications. We recommend going for our ‘Skinny’ 25mm wide Exhaust Wrap when working with very intricate and tight manifolds. For most manifolds, downpipes and exhaust sections, our 50mm option is the way to go!

Wrapping your exhaust offers huge benefits. When using a Funk Motorsport Exhaust Header Wrap, or Heat Blanket, excess heat energy is retained within the exhaust gases. Hotter gases accelerate faster than colder gasses, meaning that when insulated, the heat energy retained within the exhaust gas helps gases to exit the system sooner. This improves gas flow through the system.

By retaining excess heat energy within the exhaust system, you also reduce the amount of heat that escapes into the engine bay. This helps to reduce Air Intake Temperatures but also protect sensitive components and lines that run close by.

We strongly recommend wrapping your exhaust with a Funk Motorsport Exhaust Wrap Around Blanket, Titanium Lava Rock Exhaust Wrap or one of our Custom Manifold Blanket Solutions. Find out a little more about our custom blankets HERE!

Yes! This is a very common problem. Excess heat can enter the cockpit through the firewall or from the exhaust tunnel under the car. Our Funk Motorsport Gold and Silver Reflective Adhesive Heat Blankets are the perfect product for this. Simply cut and stick in the areas of concern to keep excess heat away from the cabin.

Prefer more of an OEM finish? Use our Funk Motorsport Aluminium Heat Barrier products to shield the heat from transferring into the cockpit.

Yes! Our Funk Motorsport Heat Barriers have been designed to be extremely versatile products. Our Aluminium Heat Barriers and Heat Blankets can be easily cut and shaped to size to suit your requirements. We would strongly recommend using a template for the intended area to ensure perfect fitment of your Funk Motorsport Heat Barrier.

The only exception to the above are our Funk Motorsport Exhaust Wrap Around Heat Blankets as these have not been designed to be cut and shaped once they have left our team. For bespoke, custom exhaust blankets, enquire here!

A Funk Motorsport Heat Barriers offer extremely high levels of heat protection rarely found in OEM applications. Utilising Funk Motorsport Heat Barriers can provide greater temperature drops and performance over standard heat shielding. Aftermarket Heat Shielding is also extremely beneficial when working with modified vehicles, where vehicles are adapted to produce much higher power than was initially intended from factory.

Funk Motorsport Heat Barriers can be installed in a variety of different ways. Our Blankets and Heat Shields can be stuck down, drilled and secured using nut and bolt, or held in place using metal locking wire and locking ties – the choice is completely up to you, and whatever option best suits your application.

Our Exhaust Wrap Around Blankets however are secured using the retaining springs provided. Looking for a tighter fit or a little bit control over how your blanket fits around corners? Opt for mechanic lockwire!

For an OEM appearance, check out our Aluminium Heat Barrier products. These Aluminium Heat Shields are available in both single layer or dual layer, with the later featuring a ceramic fibre blanket sandwiched between the Aluminium Sheets. These great products can be cut and shaped to size to replace any OEM heat shielding while offering industry-leading performance.

Many components within the engine bay are sensitive to heat. Our Funk Motorsport Heat Barriers offer solutions to shelter sensitive components from excessive heat improving safety and reliability over time. Heat Barriers also help to keep heat away from your intake pipework to improve performance, and away from the cockpit to ensure comfort while driving. Our Funk Motorsport Heat Barriers are extremely versatile products and available to be shipped worldwide.
