Since fitting my heat shield, I have enjoyed lower engine bay temperatures and the car seems a bit more responsive after long drives.
What I would like to do though is improve the intake temperatures a bit more. There is a lot of radiant heat coming off the engine that tends to get absorbed by my stainless steel 3" intake. It does get quite hot. Ive been reading some info on past threads, and other forums about what I can do. Suggestions such as 'stick on heat shield' material to heat resistant paint options. What I would like to know is what would be best to reduce intake temperatures and whats the neatest? Im leaning towards spray painting the intake with the VHT flameproof heat resistant paint. It will take the longest to prepare but will look the neatest. The other option is to go a stick on heat shield, but wont look as good but will be quicker to fit. Any thoughts on this idea or any other alternatives you could offer?
