High Performance vehicles and high temperatures go hand in hand, but those elevated temperatures can affect your car's output as well as potentially causing serious damage to vehicle components. SheetHot™ Extreme delivers an effective solution, protecting your car from heat damage and allowing you to maximize performance and longevity. DCI of Australia has been in the automotive market for the past 60 years. Over the past 15 years they have made a name for themselves as a respected supplier of shielding solutions for many of the world's leading car makers. DCI's patented technology allows them to create superior heat shields and acoustic shields that are lightweight, recyclable, easy to install, and cost effective.

SheetHot™ Extreme XT-5000 is an ideal heatshield for exhaust manifolds and turbo systems. XT-5000 heat protection gives you the most effective and highest rated heat shielding available. SheetHot™ XT-5000 is composed of composite materials (ACMS/Ceramic Insulator/Aluminum) which are rated for direct heat up to 1830° Fahrenheit (1000° Celsius).

Installation - If you need to cut a shield into a custom shape for your application it is simple

1. Utilize a cardboard template to determine the shape, size and form of your desired shield
2. Add an extra 3/8" (about 10mm) around all cut edges on the template (this excess material will be folded over the cut edge to prevent layer separation and protect from sharp edges)
3. Trace the cardboard template onto the heat shield
4. Cut out with sharp scissors or a pair of tin snips
5. Fold the extra material at the cut edges
6. Mold your shield into the custom shape you may need
7. If possible leave a 3/8" to 3/4" (10mm to 20mm) air gap between the shield and component being shielded
8. Fasten with some type of mechanical fastener (screws, bolts, pop rivets, stainless steel clamps, stainless steel cable ties, custom brackets, etc.)

Note: Always wear gloves and safety glasses when handling this material. Cover all skin that may come in contact with it as well.
