I have heard that the insulation or intake wrap lowers the temperature of the air in the intake by 15 degrees. Is this worth to buy? I think a kit costs $50. How much hp do you gain by using them on your intake?

Yes you are correct in what you are saying, but under the hot sun & heak soak from the engine block the inside of the side guard is more than likely going to be a little warmer than the air you get from outside the car. Plus if your pipe is facing the filter the air moving over the pod helps keep that end of the filter business a little cooler from radient heat from the engine....bit like the radiator.
