Performance Road Cars & Track Day Cars
Modified
performance cars can run much hotter than the manufacturer originally
intended. The additional heat created by squeezing more power from an
engine, or by driving it hard on a track, can prevent the full performance
potential of an upgrade from being exploited. Excess heat can lead to reliability issues and cause damage to ancillary components. Our ceramic exhaust coating solves
these problems using technology already proven with professional
motorsport teams. More>
Our exhaust system
coatings offer
-
A robust
fit-and-forget coating. It is in effect "welded" to the substrate using our proprietary metal bond system;eliminating the need for exhaust wrap;
protecting components against corrosion; and continuing to perform and look
good.
- A coating that looks fantastic providing an incredibly smart and professional appearance, in many cases matching a specific custom finish requirement.
-
Much lower exhaust temperatures - exhaust surface temperatures reduce by
~33%.
-
Reduced
heat loss from the manifold resulting in lower engine bay temperatures -
reductions of >50oC are possible. By comparison, just a 30oC drop in
intake air temperature can deliver a 6% increase in engine power. More>
-
Improved
engine performance & reliability. Lower air intake temperatures lead
to increased engine power, whilst keeping the heat inside the exhaust gas allows
the gases to flow more easily increasing cylinder scavenging to create a supercharging effect (to provide further power gains) and allowing
turbochargers to become significantly more responsive.
- Reduced
heat soak through footwells, bulkheads, etc. so drivers are potentially
cooler, more comfortable, and more able to concentrate.
- Protection for
vulnerable components located close to the exhaust; avoiding heat
damage, increasing component life, and allowing closer packaging of equipment
inside the engine bay.
- Rapid
cooling of the exhaust when the engine is turned off - the surface
temperature of the coating drops quickly when the engine is off, making pit
stops faster, easier and safer.
