DEI Reflect-A-GOLD

Has anyone used this around their intake piping? I'm thinking about building an ice box and wrapping the piping with this, but it's gold....

its pointless. the intake manifold is what heats the charge more than anything

every bit helps though, but

the manifold is the biggest contributor to heating the intake charge

Does the P2R intake manifold gasket help at all with this? I can't see it doing much of anything although it claims to reduce the transfer of head from the heads to the intake manifold as well as the TB gasket.... I was planning on purchasing the intake manifold gasket, TB Spacer and TB Gasket from P2R.

The manifold spacer will do a lot more than the tb gasket / the heat tape. The manifold spacer is made of some sort of plastic and doesn't transfer as much heat as metals.

Who makes the manifold spacer? I've only seen the tb spacer and the manifold gasket.

i agree with u but it seems like the manifold gasket is NOT sold by itself it comes as a kit with the ThermoBlok SPACER KIT frm outlaw engineering - which includes intake manifold spacer, throttle body spacer, gaskets, installation kit, bypass fitting.

I know for sure that P2R makes a TB spacer, but idk if they have an IM spacer.

I will be ordering this either Friday or Saturday once I sell of some more stickers & fatten the wallet.

I may end up ordering the P2R TB Spacer though. It looks a little better than the OutLaw Engineering's but I'll wait til after it gets delivered. Is anyone else running this?
