AggSound Exhaust Heat Shield Panels, 16" x 13" 2-Pack — Embossed Aluminum, Formable

This two-pack of formable aluminum heat shields from AggSound offers a lightweight, trim-to-fit solution for isolating high-temperature exhaust and engine areas. Each 16" x 13" panel is embossed for added stiffness and can be shaped by hand or trimmed to contour around pipes, mufflers, firewalls, and floor pans. Metal ties included with the kit make temporary positioning and permanent securing straightforward during DIY repairs, restorations, or performance builds.

How does this heat shield reduce heat transfer to nearby components?

The embossed 0.5mm aluminum surface acts as a radiant barrier, reflecting a portion of infrared heat emitted by exhaust systems. Its thin-metal construction also creates an air gap when mounted, which further limits conductive heat flow. Together these effects lower radiant and conducted heat exposure to vulnerable parts.

• Reflective aluminum faces radiant heat away from wiring and hoses.
• Embossing increases rigidity and maintains a small standoff gap.
• Air gap created during mounting reduces conductive heat transfer.

Can I cut and shape the panels to fit my vehicle's layout?

Yes — the panels are intentionally formable and can be trimmed with shears or a utility knife to match irregular shapes or tight clearances. The material bends easily for wrapping around pipes and mufflers, and the embossed pattern helps prevent kinking during shaping. Use the included metal ties or rivets/clamps for a secure final fit.

• Trim with metal shears or heavy-duty scissors for clean edges.
• Bend gently along contours to avoid tearing the thin aluminum.
• Secure with the supplied metal ties or use rivets/clamps for permanence.

Where is this shield best applied on my car or motorcycle?

The AggSound panels are made for exhaust-adjacent locations: around mufflers, along exhaust pipes, at manifolds, and on underbody panels near heat sources. They also work behind engine bay components, under floor pans, and at firewall areas where heat protection is needed. Their compact 16" x 13" size makes them convenient for spot protection or combining multiple pieces for larger coverage.

• Protects wiring looms and fuel lines that run near exhaust routing.
• Fits around mufflers, manifolds, and catalytic converter areas.
• Effective for custom fabrications, motorsport builds, and repairs.

How will I install these safely and what accessories are included?

Installation is simple: measure and trim the panel, shape as required, and fasten into place using the supplied metal ties for temporary positioning and tightening. For a longer-lasting installation, you can employ clamps, pop rivets, or high-temperature adhesives depending on mounting points. Always allow the exhaust to cool prior to installation and use gloves and eye protection when cutting and shaping metal.

• Includes metal ties for quick positioning and fastening.
• Compatible with rivets, clamps, and high-temp adhesives for permanent mounts.
• Hand-shapeable — no specialized tools required for basic installs.

Who is this for: AggSound Exhaust Heat Shield panels suit mechanics, hobbyists, and builders who need an affordable, adaptable radiant barrier for cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and custom projects. If you’re protecting wiring, fuel lines, floor pans, or other heat-sensitive components from exhaust temperatures, these embossed aluminum shields provide a lightweight, cut-to-fit option that’s easy to install on the bench or under the vehicle.
