Well over the weekend i installed a takeda "cold air" intake. The pipes in the engine bay get so hot what the point of having the filter behind the grille?? So I was wondering if anyone heat wraps their intake pipes to keep the air cooler.

 

Thats the reason why I shyed away from intakes, instead I have cobb tubes and drop ins.

 

I guess i just bought an expensive noise maker then =/ how do you like the cobb? I was thinking about getting one of those.

 

Wouldn't that make the tubes hotter?

 

The wraps aren't like blankets to keep the air warm on a chilly fall morning. They are insulation so the heat from the engine doesn't warm the air going from filters through tubes to engine. It's call engine "heat soak".

 

That's why intakes are not worth it. Our stock setup is already very good. Drop-ins are you best choice! That, and some HPS tubes, and you're all set. Cobb discontinued doing tunes for the G, so you'd be way better off with UpRev.

 

well i think im gunna try it and see if i feel a difference. and ok cool ill look into that one
