DEI EXO Series™ Extreme Use Exhaust & Pipe Wrap Premium wrap with stainless steel exoskeleton for superior heat protection
Wrap it up!
• Available in Black or Tan in 10’ or 20’ lengths• Dual layer design for long term durability• 304 grade stainless steel exoskeleton• High heat protection• Superior abrasion and impact protection
29 DECEMBER 2015
When it comes to off road, dirt track or desert
racing, exhaust pipes and headers definitely
take a beating and require an extra level of durability.
DEI has the solution. The new EXO Series™ Exhaust
and Pipe Wrap is the toughest most effective thermal
wrap on the market for headers and exhaust pipes that
have repeated exposure to abrasion or high impact
road or trail conditions. The EXO Series Wrap is
designed to deliver both superior heat protection and
resistance to harsh road, track or off road conditions,
unlike any other wrap on the market today.
Developed for long-lasting durability, the EXO Se-
ries features a dual layer material constructed of high
temperature glass fiber, encased in a 304 grade stain-
less steel exoskeleton—tough enough for the most
extreme desert, dirt track or off-road conditions. With
DEI’s new Air Gap technology, an insulating air barrier
that keeps direct contact of the glass fiber wrap off the
hot surface of the pipe, makes the EXO Series Exhaust
and Pipe Wrap the preferred premium wrap for any
truck or vehicle off-road or on the street.
The Exo Series Exhaust and Pipe Wrap is currently
offered in both tan and black in a 1.5” width, and 10
and 20 foot lengths. Installation is made easier with the
exterior exoskeleton that “locks in” when overlapped
for a secure fit. Recommended use includes exhaust
pipes, headers or for spot protection of pipes and
components.

and Pipe Wrap or other thermal control performance
products, visit www.DesignEngineering.com, call

HOT WATER BOTTLE BATHS ARE A QUICK, RELIABLE AND CONVENIENT
WAY TO MAINTAIN CONSISTENT PRESSURE IN YOUR 10, 12, OR 15LB
NITROUS BOTTLES.
The Nitrous Express Hot Water Bottle Bath is the best engineered and the
highest quality water based bottle heater available. The high strength composite
tank design allowed us to build in features and benefits that would not be possi-
ble with welded metal tanks. The composite tank is stronger and more durable
than a comparable metal tank plus the composite tank will never rust or oxidize.
The composite tank insulates better than metal tanks so the water heats quicker
and the heater element does not have to turn on as often. The molded tank de-
sign also allowed us to house the electronics behind the front panel so you don’t
have an ugly square box hanging off the front of the tank. We molded a separator
shelf inside the tank which keeps the bottles from sliding into the heating ele-
ment during transport. Carrying slots are flush molded into the side of the tank
to minimize the space the tank occupies. The digital display is mounted on the
top of the tank so you do not
have to bend over to see the
temperature setting. The digital
control circuit is easy to set
and automatically maintains
water temperature within 1
degree of accuracy. We mold-
ed in multiple drain bungs and
multiple mounting bungs so you
have the flexibility to mount
our supplied mounting brackets
to the floor or back of the tank.

noids are integrated into the nitrous

It’s been almost 60 years since GM debuted the
re-designed 1955 Chevy that would spark the Tri-
5 movement. To this day, the 1955 to ’57 Shoebox
is one of the most desirable classic cars to own.
While purists tend to keep them in era-correct
showroom trim, re-powering the Tri-5 with a
modern LS based power plant has become so
popular, that Hedman Husler Hedders, located in
Alpharetta, GA, has designed and now manufac-
tures, a very comprehensive collection of vehicle
specific LS swap headers and polyurethane en-
gine/transmission mount kits for classic Bowties
with an LS swap... including the coveted Tri-5
models.
Husler’s mid-length and long tube design LS
swap headers are engineered alongside their com-
panion LS conversion mount kits, to ensure they
fit properly when you start putting wrench to
bolt in your garage. The most popular of Husler’s
Tri-5 header variations is the hybrid 1-3/4” mid-
length design, which provides the added ground
and engine compartment clearance associated
with a shorty-style hedder, while offering per-
formance increases that rival their long-tube
counterparts. These mid-lengths come fitted with
Hedman’s gasketless ball/socket style collector.
For applications where something other than a
mid-length style header is desired, Hedman Hu-
sler’s long tube models are available with 1-3/4,
1-7/8 or 2-inch primaries, and a 1-7/8” to 2”
stepped model is even available for those seeking
the most performance gains. Husler’s long tube
MID-LENGTH HEDDERS FOR LS-SWAPPED CHEVY TRI-5 CARS
37 DECEMBER 2015
Tri-5 header models have 3” slip-on style
collectors.
All of Hedman Husler’s Muscle Rod Hed-
ders have beefy 3/8-inch-thick flanges that
keep the mandrel-bent primaries firmly
attached to the engine, even under harsh
competition conditions. Husler offers the
choice of either unfinished, silver high-temp
ceramic-metallic coating or a unique flat-black
Black Maxx hi-temp ceramic-metallic coat-
ing. Included with the headers is mounting
hardware, O2 bungs, gaskets and installation
instructions. Mid-lengths also include a weld-
on style ball & socket collector adapter for
your exhaust.
All of Hedman Husler’s products, including
these quality LS swap headers and engine/
tranny mount kits, are manufactured in the
U.S.A.. For more information, call (770) 664-

SIMPLIFY YOUR BUILD WITH HAMBURGER’S MULTI-POSITION OIL FILTER RELOCATION BASE
Billet aluminum oil
filter relocation kits
mount anywhere and
plumb easily thanks
to -12AN fittings and
180-degrees of rotation.
39 DECEMBER 2015
Take the biggest,
most powerful engine
you can find and make it
fit into your car’s engine bay – that is the basis
of hot rodding. However, doing that can create
any number of clearance issues, especially around
the location of the oil filter. Even with the factory
engine, there are still instances when filters can
be hard to reach. Oil filter relocation kits were
developed for just this reason, although with all of
the different engine and car combinations, not ev-
eryone could use the same filter bases. Thankfully,
Hamburger’s Performance Products has made
an adjustable filter base that gives you complete
freedom to mount your filter virtually anywhere.
Never has there been a more versatile filter
relocation base. The Hamburger’s Performance
Multi-Position Filter Relocation Base can be
mounted anywhere in the engine bay, rotated to
the desired port orientation, then locked into
position thanks to its unique two-piece design.
With 180 degrees of rotational movement, the
filter base can be precisely rotated to aim the oil
ports in the most convenient direction. Hooking
up the new oil lines is also
a breeze thanks to the twin
-12AN fittings that also al-
low for the easy addition of an oil
cooler later on. But not only does this make en-
gine swaps easier, oil changes are much easier too.
No more laying on the floor juggling a dripping oil
filter. Now the filter can be changed without even
jacking up the car.
CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aircraft alu-
minum, this product is built to last. The filter
base is also red anodized for wear resistance
and engraved with flow direction labels for easy
port identification. These remote filter bases are
available for the three most popular filter sizes on
the market – HP4, PH8A, and HP6. This gives you
flexibility to choose the right size filter to meet
the needs of your engine while working within
the space limitations of your engine bay. Starting
at just $165, these filter bases won’t break the
bank either.

mance’s Multi-Position Oil Filter Relocation Units,

Racking up 11-second time slips used to be a
nearly unattainable goal for weekend warriors,
but it’s now commonplace to see street
driven muscle cars pulling the front
wheels and breaking the 10-sec-
ond barrier thanks to modern
launch controls and powerful new
engine tech. Cars running this fast
must meet strict NHRA safety
regulations, one of which is the
requirement for a
driveshaft loop.
Trans Dapt Performance now offers affordable
and easy to install NHRA-compliant driveshaft
loops for 4th-Gen Camaros, Firebirds,
and Trans Ams, Fox-Body Mustangs,
and a universal bolt-in application.
NHRA rules require a drivesh-
aft loop on any vehicle that runs
the quarter mile quicker than
13.99-seconds while running slicks
or quicker than 11.49-seconds on
street tires. The reason for this re-
quirement is to keep the driveshaft from
digging into the ground or piercing the floor-
pan of the vehicle in the event of a front univer-
sal joint failure, possibly causing a sudden loss of
vehicle control or serious injury to the driver.
STAY SAFE WITH TRANS DAPT DRIVESHAFT LOOPSNHRA-legal driveshaft loops now available for 4th Gen Camaros, Fox Mustangs & Universal Kits
41 DECEMBER 2015
To comply with these rules, Trans Dapt’s
driveshaft loops are made out
of two-inch wide, quar-
ter-inch thick steel and
are powder coated for
corrosion resistance.
Recognizing that the 1993-2002 Camaro/
Firebird and 1978-1993 Ford Mustang are some
of the most popular drag cars among amateur
racers, Trans Dapt made sure to have bolt-in solu-
tions for these vehicles. The F-Body loop (Part#
4141) replaces the light duty factory crossmem-
ber, fits both automatic and 6-speed manual
transmission models, and provides clearance for
up to a 2.5-inch y-pipe. The Fox Body Mustang
loop (Part# 9813) fits snug
to the floorpan for maximum
clearance and is predrilled for
easy installation. For all other
applications, the universal bolt-in
driveshaft loop (Part# 4140) is adjust-
able to be compatible with just about any vehi-
cle’s driveshaft height.
Trans Dapt driveshaft loops come with all
hardware necessary for installation and meet
all current (2013) NHRA regulations for safety
equipment. For more information on Trans-Dapt’s
driveshaft loops please call (562) 921-0404 or
visit www.tdperformance.com.
