Wrapping CAI
« on: May 13, 2012, 01:45:37 pm »
Has anyone wrapped there intake to prevent heat soak? If so what have you used? Ideally want something red!

And has anybody got a spare head shield?

Thanks mike, am I being a little optimistic finding some that's red... Currently have no heat shield so not helping either

It looks fit for purpose in the items details but I think its just test and adjust isn't it

 :happy2:  The self adhesive stuff is far easier to get a nice tidy finish though

Try this company on Ebay.  Very good stuff :happy2:

I used the self adhesive refective tape below to shield the back of my OE engine cover with great results.  I also used this stuff to redesign my OE intake trumpet to direct nearly all the air from the grill into the engine cover. Since doing that I have picked up 3 mpg  :happy2:
