## Overview

Design Engineering’s Reflect-A-Gold is a high-temperature reflective insulation tape designed to reduce heat soak in automotive applications. Made in the USA, this 2" x 15' adhesive-backed tape withstands continuous heat up to 800°F, featuring a metalized polyimide laminated glass cloth for durability and easy installation. Ideal for engine bays, fuel cells, and firewalls, it enhances performance by keeping critical components cooler and protecting sensitive parts from heat damage.

## Description

✔️ DESIGN ENGINEERING INC: We have over 30 years of innovation and manufacturing expertise in the automotive industry. Dale Markley and his wife Nancy founded DEI in 1995 with a vision of developing solutions for the racing and performance industry's ongoing struggle with power-robbing heat issues. The business was started in a small space in Cleveland, Ohio and within a few years has doubled in size. Today, Dale's son David is at the helm making DEI bigger, stronger, and "cooler" than ever. ✔️ PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Reflect-A-GOLD is an adhesive heat shield made from a metalized polyamide polymer laminated to a lightweight glass fiber cloth with a high temperature pressure sensitive adhesive for use in extreme temperature swing environments. Our lightweight, adhesive thermal shielding is easily applied. It's minimal clearance and ease of use makes Reflect-A-GOLD a highly effective material for firewalls, fuel cells, engine covers, under hoods, engine compartment, bulk heads, seat bottoms and anything or area that needs protection from heat. ✔️ SUPER HEAT CONTROL: Extreme high-performance engines built for speed have more horsepower and turbo which creates more heating and the need for insulated parts. Our heavy-duty metallic gold heat resistant tape provides the cooling tech you need for sealing out and blocking excessive heat. Our tapes work best in any under the hood automotive system. Reflective, light weight, and built for regulating heated environments to block radiant heat. ✔️ EASY TO USE: Every Reflect-A-GOLD High-Temperature Heat Reflective Adhesive Backed Roll is built for high performance. It provides all the insulating you need. Like a blanket it shields sensitive surface components. It can be easily installed without need for any specialized mechanics shop or equipment. It can be cut to fit and makes the perfect heat deflector and barrier for a wide array of items and applications. Great for diesel- or gas-powered vehicles.

Review: Simple but seems to do the job - This tape seems simple but appears to do a good job of reflecting heat so it doesn’t heat your intake pipe through exposure to hot temperatures in the engine bay. Many years ago, when I was young and less informed, I decided to install a “cold air” intake in my 2002 Expedition because it looked cool, sounded cool and promised additional numbers I quite did not understand. Fast forward almost two decades and now that I really appreciate my cars, I was left hoping I had not throw away the original intake assembly. Having thought of installing a closed-box intake to reduce exposure to hot air, I decided to first try these type of products before spending a couple of hundreds in another kit. As far as testing, I ran the car without the tape in the early morning, with a Miami temperature of 89 F, while taking my kid to school, and noticed that within 15 minutes of driving, the temperature spread between the intake and the ambient temperature was between 30-40 degrees (89F ambient, 119-130 IAT) at idle. While cruising at 35-45mph, the temperature difference was between 9-15 degrees, which is not bad. Once I taped the intake, I idled the car for about 20 minutes and noticed that the temperature spread was not more than 5 degrees more or less (87 ambient, 90-92 IAT). Obviously this is not an apple to apple test, yet, since the engine is bound to get hotter during periods of acceleration and idling while routine driving, so I am looking forward to testing it tomorrow in our morning drive to school, at the same time, same route, same speeds and likely similar ambient temperature Installing was easy but patience is key. I did, however, not have enough to fully wrap the pipe components with this 15’ roll, and am weary about spending another $30 for another roll unless I see true benefits. I did see other much cheaper rolls listed here, but probably are just gimmicks so didn’t want to waste my time as this brand was recommended by multiple online reviews. In theory, it seems like a sure way to care for your engine by providing it fresh ambient like air temperatures, which translate into better performance and likely less strain, more so for an older engine like this. And seeing how I like to drive my 2002 Expedition more than my 2025 Suburban, I want this thing to last as long as I can get it to!
Review: Great tape, add some spray adhesive to be safe - Absolutely gorgeous, definitely keeps my intake temps down. As per the heed of other peoples reviews around the internet with premature peeling of the tape, I first sprayed the item I was wrapping with 3M super 77 spray adhesive. In my case I wrapped a turbo inlet I built as it is located across my turbos hot side. Before wrapping the intake, my first few drives with the car showed heat soak after full strong pulls, especially when it is hotter outside. I installed the tape by measuring the diameter (3" in my case) and added roughly 1/8" just for complete coverage. It took a while, but I flipped every strip over and also sprayed the 3M adhesive to the back side. After a few hrs of operation, one with higher engine temps the tape performed as expected, was cool to the touch shortly after shutting down the vehicle and showed zero signs of sagging or peeling up. A few drives and days later and same results. Even sprayed it off with water to clean the road debris off. One last thing worth mentioning, any sort of radius is going to be difficult to wrap. For this I cut the wrap in half and used shorter 1.5"-2" strips to get 180 degrees of coverage properly. If you are wrapping an intake or intercooler piping and your filter or coupler is rated for same diameter, I recommend leaving the gold tape back just enough for your filter to clamp on. In my case I am running a K&N 3" cone and it was too snug to fit over the gold wrap. After a few frustrating attempts I eventually ended up scrapping one 3" section as it had gotten too beat up during attempts to install my filter to consider presentable. See attached picture of my engine for reference.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the money
*by C***B on October 23, 2025*

Very good stuff. I use it to protect my CBR1000RR's farings from the Design Engineering heat wrap and Akrapovic full system. Better than OEM heat tape.
