Heat sheilding for intakes
Most of the intakes I have seen are just plain polished extruded metal. Metal tends to conduct heat. This would increase the temp of the cool air that we want our engines breathing after it gets sucked in through our fancy cold air intakes and filters. A ceramic coating would not be a bad idea. Anyone come up with other solutions? I have seen thermal wrap for the exhaust manifold that is supposed to reduce engine compartment temp. I have also seen a metal heat sheild used to isolate the air box/battery area fro the rest of the engine compartment used by a popular magazine.
