Gonna cut the vents out?

Naw. There’s nothing behind it I want air hitting, and adding air behind the radiator reduces cooling capacity

Naca ducts. Tubes down passed the headers to cool them more. Keep those tootsies cool. Guessing you have the "high" performance jobbies though...

Final product. There is a VERY noticeable difference in temps of objects near the exhaust where there is wrapping and not. Put your hand on the “frame” next to the wrapped exhaust, cool to the touch. Next to unwrapped exhaust, barely bearable to touch.

where did you purchase that exhaust wrap material looks good i need some to wrap a water line right above my turbo on my 2013 duramax

If you wrap anything melty with it, make sure to leave air gap. The shielding itself blocks heat from passing through, but it definitely absorbs it. Anything in direct contact with it will fry.

So you can not wrap a heater hose with it? You’re saying it will melt my hose ?

I would place it between the hose and the source, or wrap the exhaust partially. The heater hose doesn’t need to be wrapped to be protected, just blocked from direct radiated heat.

I wouldn’t want to wrap a hose with this anyway. It’s metal with raised points, so will probably abrade through eventually anyway.
