I'm looking for some stick on heat shielding like what Logic used on that WRC car he rebuilt, I need some to help reflect the exhaust heat away and in some other areas. What do you guys recommend? Hope you don't mind me stealing your pic, Logic.... This is an example. It doesnt have to be EXACTLY that, but that style of shielding. Both the mat (for inside, where the exhaust basically hits the bodyshell), and the tape for outside would be awesome. Is that just the normal 2in aluminized duct tape, or is that special? https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?5,36159,36159#msg-36159 Sun, 05 Apr 2026 12:15:40 -0500 Phorum 5.2.15a https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?5,36159,36231#msg-36231 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?5,36159,36231#msg-36231 -------------------------------------------------------

I've seen that on a few WRC car pics I've seen. I assume that there is maybe some expensive electronic stuff on the inside that's more sensitive. And it keeps it from getting destroyed from rock spray and snow maybe?

I asked that too. I want it for the outside, where it makes sense. the mat would work inside, though, as it's an insulator, I would assume?]]> Dazed_Driver Construction Zone Tue, 26 Jan 2010 17:45:21 -0600 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?5,36159,36229#msg-36229 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?5,36159,36229#msg-36229 -------------------------------------------------------

Oh, ok. I didnt think you could use the grey/black tape for HVAC. I thought thats why they made the aluminum tape.

now you're confusing me.

you can use it ALL for HVAC if you want.

but duct tape is the usual, gray/black all-purpose, fix anything temporarily, multi-use tape. this has no thermal properties, is NOT what logic used above, and will not withstand engine bay temperatures.

aluminum tape also comes in different thicknesses, specs, etc.

the 3M '425' tape is what I've been using, and is probably close to, if not the same thing, that logic has in that photo above.

well, regular DUCT tape is VERY different....the 'foil' tape comes in different styles/thicknesses.

cheaper, but I doubt its 3mils thick like the 3M stuff:
http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200326746_200326746

http://www.amazon.com/JVCC-AF20-Aluminum-Foil-Tape/dp/B000QDEQQU/ref=pd_bxgy_hi_img_b



I like the 3M stuff cause its malleable and pretty strong. I also use it to cover all the holes in the chassis.

I've never bought a roll of AL foil tape. I figured the HVAC duct stuff might be cheaper then 50 bucks. Looking through that 3m link, it looks like there really is basically one style of foil tape. I'm not after FANCY, I AM after the RIGHT stuff, hence my question.


It's looking like foil tape or that big sheet stuff.... but I don't think I need enough to warrant the big sheet stuff.

why did Logic put his on the inside? I meant to ask that earlier. Ideas?

Oh, I completly agree. I'm just looking for that style. The shiny tape is reflective, but the mat I believe can go on either side. I'm MOSTLY interested in the reflective stuff, to go outside. (like you said, to reflect away heat )

That's what I have on my firewall around the turbo, and even taped to the corner of my top mount intercooler.

had a fire last month at a rallyX (of all placeS) when one of the p-steering lines burst and had a nice little engine bay fire. Tape stayed on fine, just wiped it down.

Its expensive, but I found a full roll online for like $50 somewhere.

This is an example. It doesnt have to be EXACTLY that, but that style of shielding.
