I just semicompleted my CAI. Which one would you rather run with? bed liner spray, heat wrap, or plastidip? I'm planning on bed linger spray since I don't like that mummy heat wrap look on my intake. Does anyone know if the bed liner spray will be able to stand the engine bay heat? Also PlastiDip does insulate temperature but I think bed liner spray would work better.

People use bedliner on engine bays. Dont see why not. The plastidip will fall with time and flake.

Just powder coat or paint it, the air doesn't hang out in there long enough to pick up any influential amount of heat. If you're going for looks then just go for whatever look you like.

Take off the entire intake mani and the CAI then get them ceramic coated. Might as well do it right. Right?

If you can find some carbon-x fabric you can use that. I've been having trouble finding small quantities though. It is what they use on the fireproof race suits. You can put a blow torch on one side and have your hand on the other. That way you can wrap one wide sheet around it and just sew the bottom of the CAI that you can't see. I just heat wrapped mine though. My plan is to line my air filter box with carbon-x. It isn't as expensive as you might think, I just can't find it.

I'm going to start spraying after I make an elbow bend behind the fender since my filter is hitting the fender liner and my wheel on sharp right turns. -------------------- |

Don't even consider plastidip, its terrible to clean, it WILL wear off, and you'll just have to keep ruling it out. You'd be better off using real paint rather than plastidip.
