Hmmmm. This thread got me curious, so today I taped up the holes in my drilled airbox and put that headlight piece back on. I'll be damned, it does seem to have a little more power. And it is a whole lot quieter. I think I'm going to put some insulation on the bottom of my ISR pipe as well. Hopefully that will minimize the effects of the header heat.

I've used the dried out water bottle on a couple of occasions myself. No funnel to be found, that was the next best thing.

I took your suggestion and decided to wrap my intake tubing as well. I've noticed that the same thing, that the radiator heated everything up that was around it. So this seemed like a novel idea! I'm always looking for a good way to cut down engine bay heat. I noticed when I removed the body lift that the cab got a little warmer than previously


This header wrap should help with the top radiator hose touching the intake tubing as well.

I'm seriously tempted to wrap my LC headers even though they say not too. They get really hot in there.

DON'T! Header wrap causes a header to retain heat, whereas wrapping other things in the engine compartment will keep the heat reflected off of them. Wrapping headers is to keep the heat inside the header, thus increasing gas flow (hot gas flows fast!) and it will warp the headers over time. Unless you've got some more money to chuck at new sets of headers every time they warp, DON'T!

O'Reilly's sells a small amount of it, but so far Advance (don't even get me started on how much I hate Advance Auto Parts) has the best deal on it. $42.88 for 1"x50'.

Can you see any gains from the header wrap on the intake tube? Does anyone notice any difference?
