Wrap Intake?
I know that exhaust wrap keeps the heat contained so it doesnt dissipate throughout the engine bay. My question is that can you wrap your wai or cai and will it have the same effect or keeping the heat out of the piping? Thus keeping the cold air in your cold air intake cold. Just a thought.

Re: Wrap Intake?
It will actually work like those frozen food microwave deals. It will allow heat in but the pipeing wont disapate the heat thanks to the wrap. It will turn your pipeing into a microwave borrito.

Re: Wrap Intake?
Thats a really good analogy, thanks. So I guess that idea is going to the trash.

Re: Wrap Intake?
If it was worth it, you'd see more of then on people's cars.
