Split Loom tubing (high heat)

[nda0602v6]

Do they make special split loom tubing that can be used in high heated areas, like under the hood? Or will your standard slit loom be fine? I'm going to be redoing all the loom under the hood on my 87 Camaro and I don't want it to melt.

I used regular loom and zip ties w/ no problems on a couple of my cars. I doubt if you're running straight shot from the battery to the firewall you'd ever build up enough heat to light up that stuff unless the car were already on fire...

Don't think anyone makes a high heat version of split loom...?... would be a good product though. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And I have seen the regular split loom melt several times. Doesn't catch on fire, just melts. FYI if you're going to be using it.

Yeah i've used regular split loom all the time to cover up my power wires. Not sure I'd trust it right up close to the engine (re-looming the engine's wiring harness).

I found some "automotive engine" grade loom, pretty pricey stuff

i'm lucky, i get dealer price on a fiber cloth heat shield which looks pretty good as well as a not-so-pretty silicone blend shield.

On my car i have plain redand some chrome colored loom and have had no problems so far.

Taylor makes a high temp split loom, I got it from a local speed shop. It worked very well and never lost its color. I used the regular stuff on the cav from autozone and it faded like sh*t.
