Funk Motorsport Reflective Header Manifold Blanket – Exhaust Protection Heat Shield

Comprehensive Exhaust Heat Protection for Demanding Builds

The Funk Motorsport Reflective Header Manifold Blanket is engineered for builders and drivers who need robust, flexible exhaust protection in high-performance, off-road, or motorsport environments. Designed to wrap the entire exhaust manifold—rather than individual branches—this blanket provides a practical solution where access is limited or removal is not feasible. Its universal fit and flexible construction make it highly adaptable for custom, modified, or space-constrained engine bays.

How the Reflective Header Manifold Blanket Works

This manifold blanket features a ceramic fibre weave core topped with a silver reflective foil. The combination is designed to combat both radiant and convectional heat transfer at the source, helping to contain exhaust heat and reduce under-bonnet temperatures. By insulating the manifold, the blanket helps protect sensitive components, wiring, and intake systems from heat soak, and acts as a barrier against flammable liquids or debris in harsh environments.

When and Where to Use This Exhaust Protection Blanket

The Funk Motorsport Reflective Header Manifold Blanket is ideal for:

• Engine bays with minimal clearance or complex manifold shapes
• Motorsport, off-road, or expedition vehicles where rapid installation is essential
• Performance road cars seeking to manage engine bay heat without major disassembly
• Custom builds where universal fit and cut-to-size flexibility are required

This blanket is especially useful for situations where traditional exhaust wrap is impractical, or where full manifold coverage is needed to protect nearby components and wiring.

Key Benefits for Builders and Drivers

• Helps reduce engine bay temperatures by containing exhaust heat
• Protects wiring, hoses, and intake components from heat damage
• Allows installation without removing the manifold—ideal for tight spaces
• Flexible, cut-to-fit design accommodates a wide range of manifold types
• Acts as a barrier against flammable liquids and engine bay debris
• Widely adopted in motorsport and high-performance builds

Construction and Material Details

The blanket is constructed with a durable ceramic fibre weave core, chosen for its high thermal resistance and longevity. The outer silver reflective foil layer is designed to deflect radiant heat away from sensitive engine bay components. This combination delivers both insulation and reflection, maximising heat management efficiency in demanding thermal environments.

Installation and Hardware Guidance

Installation is straightforward: simply wrap the blanket around the entire manifold and secure it using suitable ties or fasteners. Note: Installation hardware (ties or fasteners) is not included and must be sourced separately to suit your application. The blanket can be trimmed for a custom fit, making it suitable for a wide range of manifold designs. Always confirm clearance and fitment before final installation.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions – Funk Motorsport Reflective Header Manifold Blanket

How does this blanket differ from standard exhaust wrap?

Unlike traditional exhaust wrap, this blanket is designed as a single piece to cover the entire manifold, offering broader protection and easier installation in tight or complex engine bays.

Can the blanket be cut or trimmed for custom fitment?

Yes, the flexible material allows for trimming to suit unique manifold shapes or to avoid interference with other components.

Is manifold removal required for installation?

No, the blanket is specifically designed for installation without removing the manifold, making it ideal for builds where access is restricted.

Are installation ties or fasteners included?

No, installation hardware is not included. You will need to source suitable ties or fasteners to secure the blanket in place.

What vehicles or manifolds is this blanket suitable for?

This is a universal-fit product, suitable for most manifolds within the specified dimensions. Always measure your manifold before purchase to ensure compatibility.

Is this product suitable for motorsport or off-road use?

Yes, it is widely used in motorsport, off-road, and high-performance applications where heat management is critical.
