Wrapping intake pipe, numbers are out<<<

[ZSHO]

I also had Airaid send me an upgraded Taller seal (strip) many years ago and after much trial & error needed to bend the seal (outwards) due to the seal touching the inside hood liner while ultimately leaving an indentation..
I found using a heat gun on the seal to be ideal in order for the hood to close and seal properly.. Some food for thought. Z

You guys ready for this?

WOW, AirAid, top gasket is what they sent me today, bottom is old original

For real?

@SuperPete
That’s because the wrap you used doesn’t do much for a radiant barrier. Use a reflective heat radiant barrier tape and you will see better results. I dropped my max iat2 idle temp after extended driving to 130ish degrees. Before the radiant tape on my hot pipes and cold air pipe my extended drive then idle temps would exceed 140 deg f.
That exhaust wrap is going to take whatever heat soaks into that pipe and keep it in that pipe.

Does the hood close properly ? Here is a PIC of the Taller Strip for comparison. Z

I’d like to know more about your oil cap...
