The only way to truly know would be to have two sets of tubes, one wrapped and one not and dyno with both back to back and see if there's any real gains. You could also mount a temp sensor of some kind and record iat's with both and compare the difference.
Ya I thought about that as well the travel rate of the air going through the intake. Just like I am wondering about the air flow to the Stillen G3's. Thanks for the response man.
