Make a little more power with P2M's Intake Manifold and Throttlebody Heatshield Gaskets. These intake and throttle body heat shield gaskets are manufactured with a high grade temperature insulating plastic. They are precision cut and designed to replace the listed oem gaskets. By insulating the intake and throttle body from the engine heat, it will decrease the intake air temperature, and increase horsepower!

So I guess you want to know how they work? The cylinder head gets quite hot when your engine is running. The purpose of these gaskets is to break the transfer of heat between the cylinder head and the intake manifold and throttle body to create lower incoming air temps. As air heats up, it's density drops, reducing oxygen content, robbing you of power because your ecu has to compensate with less fuel. On average, you lose about 1% of density for every 5 degrees Fahrenheit of increased temp!

Heat soak is a thing of the past when you get one of these installed on your motor.

- Proprietary sourced fiber material with excellent thermal barrier properties
- 3mm thickness / precision CNC cut to spec
- Gasket material can withstand up to 220 deg. C (428 deg. F)
- Controlled testing showed a standard average deviation of 10 deg. Celsius between intake plenum and cylinder head
- Under certain circumstances depending how the engine operates, the deviation can be more than 10 deg. Celsius.
- The gasket act as a thermal barrier between the cylinder head and intake manifold, keeping the intake plenum cooler
- By keeping the intake plenum cooler allows denser air to enter the engine combustion chamber to make more consistent power without heat soaking the intake plenum and charged air.
- Kit comes with high temp gasket maker to apply around the intake ports and coolant passage on both sides of the gasket to ensure air tight seal
