Heat Shields
Performance exhaust systems run hot. Even stock exhaust gets warm enough to cause problems when the routing takes it close to plastics, wiring, or other heat-sensitive components. Heat wraps, cool tape, and protective sleeving solve this. They keep exhaust heat contained within the pipe, protect surrounding components from radiant heat damage, and in many cases actually improve exhaust performance by keeping gas temperatures higher and velocity faster through the system.
Everything ATV carries a full range of heat management products from DEI, distributed through HMF Racing, covering exhaust wrap, cool tape, heat shroud sleeving, and the hardware to keep it all in place.

Buyer's Guide for ATV Heat Shields: Helping You Shop!
How ATV Exhaust Wrap Works and Why It Matters
Exhaust wrap insulates your exhaust pipe and prevents heat from being leeched out to nearby hardware, including plastics and wiring that you definitely don’t want to heat up. Wrap eliminates that risk. Second, by keeping heat inside the pipe, it maintains higher exhaust gas temperatures which means faster gas velocity through the system. Faster exhaust velocity improves engine scavenging and contributes to better performance, particularly at higher RPM. It's a heat management solution that also doubles as a mild performance upgrade. For any ATV running a performance exhaust, wrap is a smart add-on.
Different ATV Heat Shield Products for Different Heat Problems
Not every heat management situation calls for exhaust wrap. DEI makes a range of products that address heat in different ways and different locations on your ATV. Cool tape is a reflective tape that shunts heat away from surfaces you want to keep insulated. It’s a great way to protect more sensitive surfaces. Heat shroud aluminized sleeving protects cables, hoses, and wiring that run near heat sources by encasing them in a heat-resistant sleeve. Stainless locking ties are what you use to secure the wrap and keep it from unraveling under vibration. Each product solves a specific problem. Knowing which one you need makes shopping a lot more straightforward.
Getting the Most Out of Your ATV Heat Management Accessories
A few practical tips make a big difference here. Wet your exhaust wrap before applying it. It goes on easier, conforms better to the pipe shape, and tightens up as it dries for a cleaner, more secure fit. Use proper stainless locking ties at both ends and every few inches along the length of the wrap. Don't skip these; vibration will unravel an unsecured wrap faster than you'd think. For wiring and hose protection, cut your heat shroud sleeving slightly longer than needed and secure both ends properly. And wherever you're using cool tape, clean the surface thoroughly before applying for the best adhesion.

ATV Heat Shields Frequently Asked Questions
Should exhaust wrap be wet first?
Yes. Wetting helps the wrap form to the pipe, and generates less fiber dust during application, which is more comfortable to work with.
How long does exhaust wrap typically last?
Really high-quality wrap from good brands can last multiple seasons of hard riding.
Can cool tape be used anywhere?
Just about. It’s highly versatile and can be used in a lot of ways, including exhaust heat shields, firewalls, and more.
