Should work to a degree, by how much who knows. I just sent the intake tube and air box lid from my GMPP CAI to be jethot coated. Should insulate better than the chromis finish it came in

any1 else have any info on this?

There is some info on the AEM Brute force site...forgot what the site is called. And when I called Outlaw Power Intakes they were very informative about how the CAI's work. From what I have seen and heard, in a nutshell, is that our intake tube is less than 30 inches so when your giving it half throttle or WOT, and wanting the gains of the CAI, the air is moving at such a fast rate that it really does not matter what the tube is made of. Made sense to me IMO.

so this is what they say Cooler air increases power; and Cool Cover™ tube wraps deliver just that - cooler air. Simply wrap this heat-treated fiberglass mat around your aftermarket intake tube, and you'll immediately notice the performance-enhancing benefits of a cooler intake charge. so i guess you'll have to take their word for it. i will prob try it out since it's so cheap so if you get it let us know if its any good or i will when i get it. oh and i found this one for $59 here at http://www.lagunaspeed.com/display_part/24...L_UNIVERSAL.php and also i haven't seen anyone who has purchased this kit write any reviews good or bad about it so maybe someone on here knows first hand. yeah like packjh said it's made by dei

only worth the money if you have excessive under hood temps due to turbo, and like jimp said the air is moveinng too fast through the short tube to pick up that much temp.

deff makes sense about the air traveling at such a high rate of speed but the colder the air the better right.

my friend put a cold air on his sentra spec-v, and didnt notice much of a difference. i helped him install it, and we drove it for about 20 minutes, went back to double check everything, and the intake pipe was so hot i burned my hand. i had some header wrap (pretty much the same stuff from DEI that you have up there) and we put it on there.....that made a decent bit of difference. if your engine runs hot (which mine doesnt, i hope yours doesnt either) it may help out...otherwise you should be fine w/o it. i wouldnt pay for a whole kit though, ive got enough for a cold air i'd sell you much cheaper if you want.
