Product Overview
Melted boots and hardened plug wires can cause misfires that appear only after the exhaust gets hot. These flexible sleeves create an extra thermal barrier around straight, 45-degree, or 90-degree boots where clearance is tight. The advertised 2500-degree figure refers to intermittent material exposure, not safe continuous contact with a glowing header.
That distinction matters for buyers looking for the correct service part, not simply another similarly named item. Confirm approximately 6-inch length, boot/wire diameter, available clearance, and that the sleeve can be kept off sharp or moving parts.
Key Features & Performance
- Eight individual thermal-protection sleeves
- Approximately 6 inches long
- Flexible fit over common straight and angled boots
- Black finish blends into engine bays
- Double-layer heat-resistant fiber construction
Common Uses
- Protecting plug wires routed near headers
- Stopping repeat heat damage on one bank of cylinders
- Adding protection after an engine or header swap
- Reducing heat-related ignition misfire risk

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the sleeves rest directly on the header? A: Avoid direct contact; radiant protection is different from continuous surface contact.
Q: Will they fix an existing misfire? A: They prevent further heat exposure but cannot repair a carbon-tracked boot, damaged wire, plug, or coil.
Q: Do they fit angled boots? A: The flexible design fits many straight and angled boots, but measure diameter and clearance.
