Design Engineering 010394 Reflect-A-Gold High-Temperature Heat Reflective Adhesive Backed Roll, 1.5" x 15' Roll

I have a 2008 Accord Coupe 2.4l I bought it with around 168k.Oh, yes, it's red and the paint job is horrible I'm not painter but this heat wrap works! Period! I don't think the pain adds anything other than color it is an engine or under the hood high temp paint. I track my gas mileage using Car Care app and I'm currently up to almost 19mpg and it's probably 85-90% local driving. Doing app deliveries. Side note I drive with windows down, su roof open and sometimes the air on along with too so. If I shut the windows I might be over 20mph local.I don't cheat my gas milage if it's not a full full fill up I don't click so it won't do the math until it's an actual fill up.Before purchase I found a YouTube video where a guy took his 04-08 TL with cold air intake and did a before and after with the tape and he had it hooked up to the computer that showed the air intake into his engine was 30 degrees cooler with the tape.Hooe this info helps.

Absolutely gorgeous, definitely keeps my intake temps down. As per the heed of other peoples reviews around the internet with premature peeling of the tape, I first sprayed the item I was wrapping with 3M super 77 spray adhesive. In my case I wrapped a turbo inlet I built as it is located across my turbos hot side. Before wrapping the intake, my first few drives with the car showed heat soak after full strong pulls, especially when it is hotter outside.I installed the tape by measuring the diameter (3" in my case) and added roughly 1/8" just for complete coverage. It took a while, but I flipped every strip over and also sprayed the 3M adhesive to the back side. After a few hrs of operation, one with higher engine temps the tape performed as expected, was cool to the touch shortly after shutting down the vehicle and showed zero signs of sagging or peeling up. A few drives and days later and same results. Even sprayed it off with water to clean the road debris off.One last thing worth mentioning, any sort of radius is going to be difficult to wrap. For this I cut the wrap in half and used shorter 1.5"-2" strips to get 180 degrees of coverage properly. If you are wrapping an intake or intercooler piping and your filter or coupler is rated for same diameter, I recommend leaving the gold tape back just enough for your filter to clamp on. In my case I am running a K&N 3" cone and it was too snug to fit over the gold wrap. After a few frustrating attempts I eventually ended up scrapping one 3" section as it had gotten too beat up during attempts to install my filter to consider presentable.See attached picture of my engine for reference.

Worked as I expected and after a summer of racing it has held up pretty well on the intake.

I was skeptical but thought this is inexpensive enough to try. Taped up the bottom of my seat, and the inside of some plastic pieces on the body near my legs. It works really great, I don't feel much heat at all even when stopped at a long light on my Diavel V4.

I bought this product to wrap my plastic air intake duct to help keep the air cooler as it passes through there.The product is like packing tape but with thermal protection, so the good thing is it's flexible like packing tape and it's thin. However, if you try to wrap packing tape around a water bottle at the top where it tapers or taping something that has bends in it, you get the tape flaps that stick up and there's wrinkles and all that.So, unless you're taping something that's straight, just be prepared for lots of cutting. The other problem is, it's not very sticky; I know it's supposed to be removable but it needs to be more sticky than this. It can kinda hold on but nothing impressive, I had trouble getting some pieces just to stick to other pieces of the tape and it was barely sticking to the duct and I cleaned that as well. Even after I pressed all the tape down very well, when I came out to look at it the next day, some pieces had come undone from other pieces of the tape, and it's not like tape got all dirty while I was doing it, it was perfectly clean. But, other than that it's a good product, just make it a little more sticky!

Although this is my first time working with wrap tape and I could’ve done a better job, I felt like I did an okay job for my first time. I may decide to redo it at a later date if I decide I’m unhappy with it or if the tape starts to peel due to improper installation.I installed it on my S&B CAI on my 2017 Suburban. The S&B was definitely a solid upgrade but I’ve noticed that the pipe face gets hotter on the bottom versus the top.After the install, I ran the truck for approximately 10 minutes and after doing a couple of pulls, I did notice that it felt cooler than usual on the bottom face of the pipe. Being that I live in a hot and humid climate, I’m looking for anything that can help temps during the brutal summer months and after reading the reviews, I weighed the possible benefits versus the cost and it was a no brainer.I’ve driven the truck for several hundred miles and overall, it seems to be holding up. I would recommend that you remove the pipe (like I did) apply the tape in sections as it does like to be applied straight. Lesson learned on my part and that’s why I may decide to redo it in the future.The tape it self feels like a quality product. I was afraid of receiving essentially gold tape but after researching several products on Amazon, I came across this one and decided to pull the trigger. I’ve left some photos in this review for reference.

as a professional design engineer: this product is pricey for a reason. the adhesive's hold and temperature rating are very good and the foil thickness is enough to protect without being difficult to form. it's easy to work with and isn't fussy, even in places like compound corners.used in this case to limit heat exposure of intake assembly from the new headers going in.

Works as intended, have wrapped my cold air intake tube to keep IA temps down.
