Experimenting with Intake Air Temp. Request for comments.

Yeah that's the same width tape i used. Stanley knife blade to cut it and trim it to fit over all those ridges. I'll get some photos of the airboxes

I'll get some photos of the airboxes soon!

For the flex tube (i assume you mean the accordion tube) i am just going to replace it with a silicone one. Silicone should be more resistant to heat and insulate better, plus it smoothens out the airway for some slight gains. Only problem is they're much more expensive than oven mitts! and for me i'll have to wait about 2 weeks for them to arrive from the US.

I would advise against more than 1 layer of the foil reflective tape. Some parts of the airbox are quite close to nearby components so you don't want any rubbing or fitment issues if you make the airbox too fat

I did a visual check and didn't see any spots that would be problematic, but some places are impossible to see. I guess I'll find out when I go to do the install.
I tried to keep the overlap on the tape to a minimum and don't have a lot of overlap on the foil.

I used the last of the tape and foil earlier today and will have to make time to go to the auto parts store to get more.
