Exhaust shields STOPS BURNS To Corvette Legs!

P.A.Grinnell manufacturers of Koolmat Insulation, used by teams in NASCAR to stop extreme heat to floors/firewall/tunnels, is now manufacturing a 25000 deg. side exhaust shield to stop burns to Corvette side exhaust.  The company will offer a two-shield program, the 1st shield is a beautiful polished stainless outer cover that looks pretty and will not tarnish. A 2nd shield will set inside the polished stainless shield to stop heat from penetrating the outside shield area and will stop burns to legs.

The inside shield (which will not tarnish either) called “Heatmaster” is made of a 25000degree NASA/BOEING insulation sandwiched between two inconel pieces, a hi-grade textured aerospace panel, pinch over twice, and sealed with grommets for easy installation. The same shield material has been supplied to the Nextel Cup teams for their exhaust for the past six years. The “Heatmaster” inside-shield takes the hit instead of the polished cover. The new T-Bucket shield will drop temperatures of the outside shield from 180 degrees to 68 degrees.  It may be an over kill on some applications but you will never worry about a burn. The Corvette outer shield size is larger 4-1/2” x 33”, the inside shield is smaller 4”x 32” and has an easy installation with three built-in clamps. Plans for a universal shield for Cobra’s and Motorcycles is on the table now. If you are running a side exhaust you might want to call for information on how to cool down your exhaust.  This same T-Bucket shields 4”x 18” can be purchased through Total Performance at 1-800-243-6740 or on www.tbuckets.com.
