Back to my original question, anyone use thermal wrap on the intake tubes and notice a difference in temp or performance?

performance, maybe 1 or 2 rwhp...but your intake temps would be less effected by the engine heat for sure. Thermal wrap sucks & comes off over time...do ceramic coating if you're looking for proper heat rejection. If you have a raptor, I'm sure you can afford a $50 mod like ceramic coating.

CAIs are snake oil.

Yes, I have one. But, I bought it used in a package with a 5 star tuner. Never would've dropped $4-500 on a new one. I really just wanted the tuner, but he was selling them together, so I might as well put it on. Guess what... no noticeable difference.

Don't waste your money. Get a K&N drop in if anything.

lol, yes i am the one with a hard on that blocks my ability for rational and logical thought.

{Funny time, so dont get your ass all chapped about the below, i just needed a way to work the video into a comment on the forum}
If i didnt have any faith in human kind i would swear up and down you had your **** replaced with an Al tube with an injen logo on it. You know, so all the ******* could hear the sweet quack when they start sucking... (see the below video for the meme reference)

NOT WORK SAFE (NO REALLY IT ISNT DONT DO IT!)
G.O.A.T. AND YOUR M.O.M. Quack like a duck - YouTube


Like i said before, im super duper happy that you are so super duper happy about injen. To each their own.

I would have to disagree you sir. I'm back on stock again after using a aFe CAI for 2 years and there is a noticable difference. CAI is way better than stock.

Im back on stock after a filter issue with powercore. Sucked in a lot of water becasue I didnt have a lid or pre filter with the powercore. I did run with aFe filter for years with a pre filter.

Never really thought about the heat wrap before until I seen this thread. May give it a try when I put the CAI back on.
