heat wrapping intakes?

edub370

so i know we can all tell after we've been driving the z for a while. it gets hot under the hood, our cars pull timing, and sh!t gets sluggish. so why has nobody tried throwing some header wrap on their long tubes to prevent that metal from getting hot? idk if anyone has ever tried grabbing their long tube intakes after driving a while, but they are hot as hell. at least my injen is.

so what would prevent someone from throwing some header wrap on the intake piping to keep the hot air out and cold air in. or is header wrap unidirectional? i.e. header wrap is designed to keep the headers heat in, whereas we want to keep heat out? would it be worth looking in to....?

another random idea...
