Disclosed are a resin composite having excellent soundproofing and mechanical properties, and a molded product including the same. The resin composite may include a resin composition, porous particles and a reinforcing material, and the molded product including the same include no volatile organic compounds (VOCs). As consequence, displeasure caused by generation of the VOCs and exhaust of toxic gas during combustion may be reduced thereby being environmentally friendly. Further, the resin composite and the molded product including the same demonstrate sufficient mechanical strength and may thus be directly applied to a housing or the like of an apparatus which generates noise without introduction of any additional soundproofing material. For example, the resin composite and the molded product may include a specific content of the porous particles having pores having a specific size to secure an appropriate volume fraction and may thus efficiently and economically block noise transmission.

An exhaust assembly for a vehicle. The exhaust assembly includes a header assembly including one or more head pipes, and a bridge with a first end and a second end that is opposite the first end. The first and second ends are secured to the header assembly. The exhaust assembly further includes a shield assembly including a shield shaped to cover a portion of the header assembly and a retainer secured to the shield and supported by the bridge by a planar clamp joint therebetween.

A tail gate for a vehicle cargo bed includes a tail gate body having an interior surface disposed towards the vehicle cargo bed and an exterior surface disposed outwards from the vehicle cargo bed; and a heat shield secured to the exterior surface of the tail gate body. At least a portion of the tail gate body is constructed from a first material having a first melting temperature and the heat shield is constructed from a second material having a second melting temperature. The second melting temperature is greater than the first melting temperature.

A heat exchanger arrangement includes a heat exchanger having a front, a rear, and a side between the front and the rear, a fan arranged to direct an airflow from the front to the rear of the heat exchanger, and a screen disposed over at least the front and side of the heat exchanger and attached to a structure at or behind the rear of the heat exchanger.

A liquid protection shield for a sensor probe in an exhaust system is provided. The liquid protection shield includes a sensor tip housing portion having a substantially cylindrical shape and multiple apertures formed through a sidewall of the sensor tip housing portion. The liquid protection shield further includes a shoulder portion integrally coupled to the sensor tip housing portion and having a substantially cylindrical shape. The sensor tip housing portion and the shoulder portion collectively define a central passage for the sensor probe.

A heat shield comprises a first thermal insulation section and a second thermal insulation section, wherein the second thermal insulation section is axially connected to the first thermal insulation section, and the thermal insulation performance of the second thermal insulation section is lower than that of the first thermal insulation section. The heat shield is advantageous in that it cannot only achieve a good integral thermal insulation effect, but also protect thermal-fatigue weak zones of an exhaust system shell, so as to prolong the operating life of the exhaust system and reduce the costs of maintenance and repair for an automobile, etc.

A method of manufacturing an insulator is provided. The insulator includes a lower member and an upper member. The lower member is placed as a second flange of the lower member is fixed in position. The upper member is then disposed on the lower member as the second flange of the upper member is fixed in position. Accordingly, the first flange of the upper member and the first flange of the lower member abut each other, and the second flange of the upper member and the second flange of the lower member abut each other. Then, the first flange of the upper member and the first flange of the lower member are swaged, and then the second flange of the upper member and the second flange of the lower member are swaged.

Provided is a shield molding blank which has an uneven structure in which an air gap 4 is formed between metal plates 2, 3 formed in overlapping wavy shapes comprising recesses and projections that are periodically continuous in two directions orthogonal to each other, the shield molding blank being cut in a desired expanded shape and having peripheral edges folded. With the shield molding blank, it is possible to mold a shield having improved shield characteristics such as a heat-shielding property and a sound-shielding property.

An off-road vehicle having a frame, a plurality of ground engaging members operably coupled to the frame, a seat supported by the frame and configured to support an operator, an engine supported by the frame, a body supported by the frame, and a liner coupled to the body, where the liner is configured to be positioned between the body and a heat source of the off-road vehicle, and an air gap extends between the liner and the body.

A composite structure comprises a cover plate and a plate-like fiber layer, one side of the plate-like fiber layer being fastened to one side of the cover plate with a solder at contact points of fibers of the plate-like fiber layer and the cover plate. Contacting fibers of the plate-like fiber layer are connected to each other with the solder in the plate-like fiber layer. A vehicle having a composite structure and a method of manufacturing a composite structure are furthermore disclosed.
