Most companies have come to the market with reflective tape that helps prevent the piping from getting heat soaked from the engine bay temperatures. You can see some reflective heat tape HERE. This would be the right stuff to wrap an intake with!

I used this wrap on our Jeep and it worked rather well. I used the non-tape type as I didn't want the tube all sticky if I decided to remove it, I attached it using reflective tape.

Looks great! Heatshield Products is definitely offers some of the highest quality heat control products on the market. I sell their products to industrial manufacturing companies that use specific products to help protect wiring etc. around their robotic TIG welders.
