Also thoughts on heat wrapping my LTH from F.I. I will get in touch with Tony and see what he says about that and post it here. Let me know what you think fellas/gals.

/\ as far as heat wrapping your headers, while they will reduce heat coming off the tubes and help contain it in the exhaust, they can also trap moisture and lead to premature wear of the headers themselves. I spoke with Tony about it when I ordered mine and that's one of the reasons i decided to just go with the ceamic coating right off the bat.
As far as wrapping the intake tubes, what gain are you really going to get? When you're moving at speed down the road, there really isn't time for the air getting sucked into your engine thru the CAI tubes to really heat up at all. And when you're sitting in traffic, it might help, but who really cares if you loose a tiny bit of power in rush hour on the drive home??
