As advertised, the Inferno Exhaust Heat Shield (2" x 50') is easy to install and secure with stainless steel fasteners. The lifespan of this product has yet to be determined. I wrapped a 6 inch exhaust after the turbocharger on a CAT C-15 installed in a diesel RV. I also wrapped the 5" intake pipe with double-sided aluminum insulation after the radiator to improve combustion efficiency. and so MPG for this configuration. Performance indicators have not yet been determined.
