Interesting thought??

its not a matter of the intake charge being hot enough to heat the tubes up (which is a completely insane thought anyway) its a matter of proximity.

lets establish some facts first
1. the tubes sit incredibly close to motor
2. stainless steel retains heats worse than lets say plastic

@V8killer so with those facts being said (and proven)wrapping the tubes to prevent heat soak from the motor would yield a subsatantial decrease in the actual intake charge.without some sort of shielding, the tubes will "heat soak" (maybe you should look that up while your at it). im trying to call you out (even though you specifically called me out in the beginning) but you really dont seem to have any idea what your talking about. thats not your fault but it would be better for the rest if you didnt try and pretend like you did

As to the topic, i appreciate the intelligent responses from everyone and i will be trying this very soon and ill keep everyone updated on my experience and the changes it will inevitably make!
