Intake wrap
Anyone know cheaper solutions to cooling the intake piping with wraps or anything else for that matter? Is there a specific brand thats decent. I took insulation wrap from lowes cause i saw it on some team integra page, but it only made the piping even hotter. so anyone advice would be awesome. thanks.

was it aluminium based??
i no here in australia you can be a aluminium based tape for insulation/sisalation joining
its like gaffa tape, with a cross thread in it, with like thin layers of aluminium around the fibres, then some other sort of paper/stuff around it
i used some for my stock intake - seemed to work well, it got warm, but aluminium can conduct heat away really well
you could always use exhaust wrap, but that could start to be expensive
