Intake Tube Heat Shielding

Don't forget our IAT are measured at that MAS sensor. There's a lot of pipe on the Stillen Gen 3 between the MAS and the throttle body, and it's sitting in just the right spot to suck up heat rising off of the exhaust headers. This is the main thing I was trying to shield against, which the scangauge IAT won't show.

Yeah, it will actually be hotter than indicated, but the MAF IAT readings will determine the ECU settings. As I said, Cooler is always better!..
