How About With This???

How About With This???
I have a K&N intake with an AFE Filter, the intake tube is made of metal and gets real hot while hauling...
I was thinking of either wrapping it with header wrap, or doing the following that I saw on another truck...
the guy wrapped a similar intake tube with that plumbing insulation that has the aluminum outer layer on it, he wrapped it with two full layers, then put duct tape around that.... Once this was done he coated it good with spray on bed liner stuff to solidify and protect it.
He did all of this to reduce intake Temps, and claimed that he measured a big drop (like 100-150degrees) with the EGT's...
I have to admit, I actually was able to tell a BIG difference in how the intake felt to the touch after running hard, before you could hardly touch it, and now it is barely warm...
Any opinions???? Thanks
Chris

is there a reason that the header wrap increases EGT's???
Thanks for the info!
