Using heat reflective tape on induction kit?

[WHOZBOSS]

I have recently purchased a mtc induction kit to swap with my neuspeed as it is too loud for my liking, now I have seen people tape up the stainless piping on similar kits e.g itg, amd etc. So I went on eBay and bought this as I thought its good value for the price plus I have bought stuff from them before, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Demon-Twe...ts_Vehicles_Automobila_ET&hash=item5652e08660
What are the benefits if any in taping up the stainless piping and the heat shield?

I cant see any benefit from just using that stuff as it's effectively sticky back tin foil you need something thermally insulating or not bother at all

I think its going to offer very little if anything tbh

Has there been any tests with intake temps before/after heatwrap?

I'm thinking (atleast on turbo cars) that with the turbo up to temp, intake temps won't be noticeably different as the intercooler does 99% of the cooling and a couple of degrees cooler before the turbo will just get swallowed up when it hits 500°+ fan blades.

Yeah that stuff should be okay as i noticed when looking in the bays of the british touring cars they are mostly all using the gold foil so kf they use it surely should be worth a try

im looking at doing this aswell mainly to just reduce the noise of my neuspeed intake not for any gains just to see if it makes it quieter lol
