i saw someone use a plastic flower pot a little while back

there is this stuff you can buy from summit and stylinconepts made to wrap around headers to stop them from heating up the engine bay, same concept you could buy that and wrap it around your intake,

really the air is moving so fast I don't think its in the intake pipe long enough to get hot.

i can see a noticable difference when ihave the aircone on and it heats up a little bit..gets real sluggish..i thinking cuz of the heat..so i wanna try it out.. but thanks alot

take a pic of under hood let me see your intake.
