Thumbs down DEI intake tube heat wrap

Just to warn you guys, I paid $60 for design engineering cool tube heat wrap for the metal intake. Its supposed to keep heat off the tube. The stuff is a piece of aluminum sided, heat resistant material with velcro. Well it looks and fits like crap. Anyway, this thing does not work at all!! I drove around town to get things nice and hot. Well I pull off some wrap to feel the intake and its as hot as ever! Maybe even hotter than before. Terrible product!

Time to buy the cheapo tape wrap. I always thought those things were a gimmick... thanks for confirming it, but I'm sorry it took $60 to do it.

ya whatever you put on will eventually get hot and heat up whats under it. It only prolongs the amount of time for it to get hot. Maybe track use only?

Or just use a plastic intake. After an hour of driving it's still cool to the touch.
