Coating air intake piping

[ziembic]

Does the group think that coating the piping from the turbo to IC and IC to engine with a heat coating like exhaust is worth anything. My thought process is that if it keeps the heat in for exhaust, will it keep the heat out from the engine compartment? I am leaning toward just getting the pipes powder coated, but wanted to toss this out there.

I had seen a couple of other trucks that did the A/A conversion and wrapped the piping, so I thought it would dress it up and help with heat. I did it when I put in the intercooler, so I don't know if it's the wrap, the intercooler, or a bit of both, but it helped with air intake temps quite a bit.
