Introducing the NEW Down Pipe Blanket By PERRIN
![]() ![]() MSRP $149.99 Available Now! ![]() ![]() ![]() PERFORMANCE PERRIN Thermal Blankets will improve response while lowering under hood temperatures. Thermal losses from headers, uppipes, turbine housings, and downpipes, cool exhaust temperatures thus the exhaust loses energy and velocity. This cooling effect reduces turbo response and horsepower. PERRIN Thermal Blankets insulate the exhaust from losing that critical heat, which in turn maintains the velocity of the exhaust gases. Improve power and protect vital under hood components from heat damage with this easy-to-install and economical part from PERRIN! DESIGN PERRIN Downpipe thermal blanket fits snugly around the downpipe to keep nearly all radiant heat away from your intercooler, intake and other engine components. The downpipe blanket features 3-layer construction. Including an outer cover made from Silicone Impregnated Fiberglass (rated to 500F continuous), an inner layer made of Calcium Magnesium Silicate Insulation (rated to 2000F continuous) and Silica (rated to 1800F Continuous) insulation used to contain the inner layer. INSTALLATION Stainless steel rivets are mounted to the blanket and stainless steel wire is supplied to secure the blanket to your downpipe. This allows for simple “Lace Up” type installation, even with the downpipe already installed! FITMENT The shape of the PERRIN downpipe thermal blanket is specifically designed to fit over all stock Subaru downpipes, PERRIN downpipes and most aftermarket downpipes. The PERRIN downpipe thermal blanket works great with the PERRIN Heat Shield for the ultimate in heat control. 5 YEAR WARRANTY PERRIN Performance warrants to the original purchaser, all PERRIN products to be free from defects in material and workmanship within a sixty (60) months period from the date of purchase.

Edit: sorry ill ask in a different form. Would it be advisable or necessary to keep a closer eye on exhaust temps when using products such as up-pipe, turbo, and downpipe heat blankets?

how much will this downpipe blanket reduce downpipe and the surrounding engine bay temps?

We haven't done any testing yes on the downpipe, for the turbo blanket, we've seen a reduction from 900F down to 300F on the surface of the turbo! The downpipe won't be as much, since the downpipe doesn't get as hot, but will make a good reduction in underhood temps! |

The cats are rated to a temp that exceeds the EGT's seen at the catalytic converter. Adding the blanket does hold in more heat, but not enough that it causes any issues. We had this tested on a car with our downpipe for a long time and with dynoing and other abuse the cat was perfectly fine.

also, a flap covering that hot metal flange would be an awesome addition. will get rid of my ugly rats nest of header wrap around it.

We might, we were working on one at one point.
It doesn't have that, sorry! It might be something that we can add in the future, but we don't have any plans for it right now. |

Stock Turbo & Invidia DP
I just installed the Turbo & DP Blanket today & it went very easy. Total time was like an hour. Although I did already have the heat shield off because of the Invidia DP install. One note on the install: It makes it easier to loose fit the blankets and then go back and snug up the wire. This pair makes a huge difference in TMIC heat soak & also the front axel boot which is right next to the DP cat. The fitment of the DP blanket was a little small around the DP cat and left about 1/4 inch of bare pipe in that area. Other than that I like the product. The combination of these two blankets leads me to belive that I wont need to buy a turbo heat shield since the TMIC was cool to the touch on all surfaces. |

Can anyone comment on noise insulation with the DP blanket. It seems like this blanket is insulated thick enough to not only trap heat, but also to perhaps reduce the noise coming from a down pipe.

The blanket will give a little noise reduction, but nothing super noticeable, since most of the sound will come from the engine and turbo. Thanks!

That is something that we've been thinking about. The only thing is that it would be pretty expensive.
