Engine Air intake heat shield

I want to wrap my intake any suggestions on what to use. I recently picked up a new filter and heat shield now I want to wrap the actual intake itself.

Thermal wrap, I'm thinking about doing the same to mine because it absorbs a lot of the heat from the engine bay.

I know dumb ass, that was an example.

Here,
It reduces the absorbency of heat through the seals and tubing.

Theres heat everywhere in the engine bay, no matter where your intake is. I can put my hand in the fender well where my wheel is and its warm in there.

So then whats the point of a CAI vs SRI, don't people get a CAI for cold air? Because cold air is denser your going to get better response with a CAI. Same reason people get thermal gaskets for IM's because it blocks out heat absorbency at the manifold.

You see gold, this is me;


And this is you;


/talk back

You mean 15

yay im in the conversation....

and you appreciate it? it makes your happy? shouldn't it fill you with rage? maybe punch your screen and walk off like a boss?


but thermal wrap its cool but it will dissolve from the heat, just checked my wrap on my exhaust and its almost all gone, weird yet funny....

its only like 5 dollars, and i installed mines when i ported my exhaust manifold so no time wasted...

WELL DUH its ebay thermal wrap. I just bought it because they were the same ppl that i bought the SRI for the cavalier.

and gold, sometimes i just dont understand you

Im sorry sir but it let me to golds post when i clicked on the alert....

When i did port the exhaust and wrapped it, i also installed a K&N drop in filter, had the N1 welded on and cut a big hole on my resonator to make my stock intake a CAI and did notice a faster response pickup, dont know how to explain it but it was worth it.

And yes, it was so much power that the insides of my exhaust flew out into traffic.

here, Use a 120mm saw hole bit and make sure you go through all the walls. When i hook up the car to the computer it says my intake temp is the same as the outside temp so i guess its good

and this will make your filter box dirty and full of junk so i would say clean it out every week but i think its because i drive alot on the freeway....ive found dragonflys to bees.

cbass talks like he knows anything about HP.

Who here fast a fast corolla?
