The use of exhaust manifold heat shields in automobiles is increasing rapidly due to emission laws, autoignition temperatures of fluids and packaging constraints. The standard materials are presented and selected composite combinations offered by Midwest Acoust-A-Fiber along with those offered by competition were tested for thermal testing using SAE 135 1 setup and acoustical testing using ASTM C384. The SAE 135 1 showed the thermal performance offered by Acoust-A-Fiber composites to be better than the competition.
