Specifically designed for the FIAT 500L models that feature a 1.4L Turbo Multi Air Engine.
This blanket is designed to limit the amount of heat that is transferred from your factory down pipe/ catalytic converter to your engine bay. By limiting the amount of transferred heat you extend the life of the components under the hood and also improve response from your car.
These thermal blankets are designed to improve response while lowering under hood temperatures. Thermal losses from headers, turbo housings and downpipes cool exhaust temperatures. The result of cooler exhaust temperatures is a loss of energy and velocity. The cooling effect reduces turbo response and costs horsepower. This Thermal Blanket is designed to help insulate the down pipe from losing that critical heat. The benefit of this is that the exhaust gases maintain their velocity. This helps improve power and at the same time protects vital components under the hood from heat damage.

During the first few heat cycles, the thermal coating and material within the blanket will go through a curing process as they reach their operational temperature. It is completely normal for the blanket to emit some smoke during this time and leave a powdery residue. After a few cycles, the smoke will subside; simply wipe off any residue that may accumulate nearby. Please note that the blanket will lose some flexibility after the first few heat cycles as the material cures, so it should not be routinely removed once fitted to avoid damage.
