CAI Tube Insulation from Heat?
Just ordered Icebox. Found this insulating wrap on one site that sells CAI.
http://www.optauto.com/webstore/prod...=yes&dept=3023
Anyone used this before? Seems like it would help b/c would block heat that radiates from engine from penetrating intake, which is what CAI is all about... Any thots?
Also, got me thinking that perhaps this is 1 reason the Icebox offers better gains. AEM and Injen intake tubes are metal and likely transmit engine bay heat better. Icebox is plastic. Any thots?
Thanks.

I currently have a thermo wrap over the CAI system.
Different material though than the link described.
The material I have is an aerospace reflect product- around 40 bones a foot or something. It covers the entire TB and CAI and reflects all types of heat xfered energy.
I think it helps for the track and when it car is
standing still for extented periods.
