This our HP Header Armor Kit
This kit is half inch (thick) it comes in quarter inch (thick) . You can get it in a one or a two pack.
Its Temperature rated to a continuous direct contact Temperature of 1800 degrees Fahrenheit
and 2200 degrees Fahrenheit intermittent
Reduces heat and remains compliant with most header warranty’s
This kit comes with
one piece of 18X24 Heatshield Armor
Its comes with a heatshield instruction sheet so you know how to install it
It comes with 5 feet of tie wire
and a Heatshield Products Betty sticker.
Ok today we're gonna be going over in
install on our
revolutionary Header Armor it's a
It’s a universal heatshield blanket kit for your headers
It’s really cool. Its bio-soluble silica so it’s really nice easy to work with
Should be warranty compliant it’s not totally encapsulating
each runner on the header
So header manufactures should love it
we're gonna go into our very first test
mule
this is an old 66 Mustang here that
we've done some modifications to its got
about four hundred horsepower
As you can see we already have some existing heat shields here.
Some Thermaflect sleeve for the fuel line to help prevent some vapor lock. One of the more important
things we have to pay attention to when we do Header Armor
install is the location the spark plugs
in correlation to the headers.  Now for our application here you’ll note that the
spark plugs go below where the header
bolts onto the head.
That’s going to be important when we do our install.
So take a look at that nice little HP boot there. Take a note of the location of the
spark plugs spark boots and where the header mounts to the head.
And we'll get to install here shortly.
For this install we have our safety
items we have our goggles, our dust
mask, and our gloves.
We've got our straight edge and we have our
knife and scissors to help with cutting
material we've got some
pliers and some wire cutters for the
wire that secures the
the Header Armor to the header.
We've got a measure that will aid with
making making measurements and have our thick card stock with pencil
to make out templates before we cut our material.
We have out template made. We are going to do
two different things on here. 
We are going to have the blanket
on the lower portion. So we
have room for our spark plug wires  and spark plugs and then
what we are going to add into it is a small little piece on each runner.
About like this.
and it's going to cover those and that will give us some good coverage.
Okay our templates are all cut out. We've traced onto our
our Heatshield Armor.
We've left a
(extra) one-quarter inch around our
template so we have enough
material to
make a little fold o.n the edges so it looks nice
We've done that with our other peices here. So we have our are
strips for our runners. We are going to cut these in two.
So we have our piece cut out and we have our template on the backside
We are removing some of the insulation. So we just
cut along here along here
Let me just peel it out.
Might have to cut in there a little more.
Let's peel it all out.
And then what we will do
is take this little edge and just fold it up over
just like this.
And that kind of gives you a good
nice finished look. So we will do that
all do that all the way around.
Okay we have our Header Armor.
all cuts trimmed and folded over. So we are going to put
our pieces are runners first. They're gonna go in underneath
so we have to do is, kind of put it in position
and mold it down, like so.
Another one here we go.
Mold that on there.
We'll get our last one on here.
So these will get secured
with wire.
And then we will put this right on top.
here
and then that's going to cover the the
lower portion (of the header).
Like this.
So we'll show you the next video how
it looks all cinched up with our wire.
Okay now we are going to put on our wire.
Wrap this around here.
Wrap around itself.
Twist it there a little bit.  And then we are going to tighten it
down with the pliers.
Then you cut it. And then you just fold this (the wire) down.
And it will look like that. And that's how it looks from the front. Okay we have our four small pieces installed.
Now we are going to put our blanket on here
and secure that with the wire
And they way you do that is
poking a hole through (the Header Armor)
into the back side.
Now we tip that over.
And we will get that secured
And then we will do that again here.
Twist that on right here.
No in the next video will show you how to secure the bottom.
Okay now we're going to secure the
bottom of the blanket
With our wire.
Okay we will do the bottom side.
And that's it, all finished!
We have our header all re-installed. We are going to
get it up to operating temp and take some temperature readings.
The nice thing about the Header Armor
as opposed to an exhaust wrap is there is no smell or smoke
as you can see.
[Motor reving]
So here is our temperature readings
on the Header Armor we've got
143. And down on the header
750
720 715 in that range
