Just wondering if there is any value in heat wrapping the intake pipes to keep temps cooler if any one has any experiences in this area some feed bak would be great. Cheers

If anything you would want to use a heat reflective tape. Not a heat wrap.

You want to reflect the heat away from the pipe not keep the heat in.

But, unless you were entering World Time Attack I wouldn't bother.

I did it when I had the original crossover dude, car was about 4 months old and I was just keen to spend money on things! I wrapped it with an adhesive heat reflector (got it from repco).

I never did any form of testing of course but I imagine it may help in some way at low speed...
