Review on Design Engineering 010392 High Temperature Reflective by Mike Ewing

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great tape at the right price.

The tape is great! I wrapped my STI intercooler and apart from looking great it helps keep my intercooler from overheating. I did this setup in winter so didn't have a chance to test it in summer, I'll update my review but I highly recommend this product. I've had no issues with the tape sticking to anything (intercooler or A/C pipe) although I cleaned all surfaces prior to the tape. Update from 07/31/16: The temperature under the hood is different at night than during the day. To be honest, I did this upgrade at the same time as the turbo blanket and big hood scoop, so I can't really compare how different just the band is, but I no longer feel like I'm losing out in performance in the summer. It's a cheap upgrade with one noticeable difference, I can touch my intercooler after aggressive driving or autocrossing, I couldn't before.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Everything is fine
