Description:
Cut down on the ever-destructive under hood heat in the engine compartment without adding complex, hard to install parts.
The M7 Exhaust Heat Shield is custom contoured and fits on top of the factory aluminum heat shield above the exhaust manifold or header of your R50, R52 or R53 MINI Cooper. It was developed in a real world environment and testedTheming electronic data acquisition equipment. During testing on a loop consisting of mixed driving on the freeway at high rpm and high speeds to generate as much heat as possible and in stop and go traffic on surface streets, the M7 Exhaust Heat Shield reduced under hood temperatures an average of 68 degrees F. The coolant reservoir and the steering pump reservoir stay much cooler, reducing the potential of failure of these components.
Manufactured from aerospace grade insulating materials, the top layer is bright reflective silver thermal fabric with a handsome 3" embroidered M7 logo and the bottom is made of a woven nomex fabric. The main insulating core is made from high performance composite nano-fiber ceramic pad material.
Includes a hardware kit and easy to follow instructions. One hour or less to install makes this a great DIY project.

Q: What is a heat shield? Why buy one?
A: Heat Shields are designed to protect your car from the harmful heat that is given off by the engine and exhaust system. Intense engine heat can damage plastic and rubber components, hurt the finish of the vehicle, and significantly decrease the engines performance. Motors are capable of producing more power when the intake charge is cooler, so if they suck in hot air from the engine bay, power will suffer. With performance heat shields you can keep the hot air away so that only cool air comes in, giving more horsepower and better efficiency. They will also reduce warping and cracking of components in the engine bay saving you on repair costs down the road. In addition aftermarket heat shields will provide a great custom look to any engine bay and help your ride to stand apart from the crowd.
