As far as wrapping the intake tubes, what gain are you really going to get? When you're moving at speed down the road, there really isn't time for the air getting sucked into your engine thru the CAI tubes to really heat up at all. And when you're sitting in traffic, it might help, but who really cares if you loose a tiny bit of power in rush hour on the drive home??

K cool thanks on the headers. My questions about these options were out of curiosity b/c I have read that someone has done this previously but did not post anything about pro's/con's. I understand your logic about the wrapping of the intakes. My question is b/c our engine is so tightly packed you don't see a gain from wrapping them over extended driving?
