After my car warms up, myCAI gets reallyhot, which probably defeats the purpose of having a CAI... I was thinking that wraping it in that thermal stuff would keep the heat off the pipe, therefore running cooler, longer? Correct me if in wrong.

Oh and how much does thermal wrap run for?

 

ya know ive wondered about doing this as well....

 

yeah, it'd work...

Personally, I plan on eventually getting engine enamel,painting my intake tube (which would also aid in keeping the air slightly colder) , thenusing exhaust wrap, and sealing the wrap.

 

ya i plan on painting mine as well BUT if wraping the intake pipe would help the motor run any beter.... id wrap it no problem...

 

yeah, definitely.. I plan on using some black wrap... the natural tan-ish wrap would just kinda look weird under the hood.

 

dito... ive even thought about seeing if they have a realy WIDE wrap... that way you could sow it together and make a sleeve for it... that would look alot beter at least......

 

actually, I think I saw some like 24" wide wrap on Summitracing... give me a second and I'll check

EDIT: just checked.. they have exhaust wrap "blankets"... 36" wide x 60" long

 

wow thats not cheap about 80bucks..... for the blanket.....

Yea its not that cheap, but think about it. Im trying to get to the point where I can just keep my engine as cold as it can get...and adding cheap add-ons such as these blankets will help. Im gettin my CAI and aftermarket Heatshield put on ASAP, and plus the blankets...i mean the engine should be running smoothly...Im going to do it [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

 

Advance has some exhaust wrap for $40. btw I think windcalmer has his intake wrapped in that blanket thing.
