Yea, Samco makes ones that are appx 90 or so, and I think someone makes em cheaper, maybe OBX, not sure...

There a good show piece, but if I were to spend that much I'd just go w/ killerglass!

The Nology Hotwires were a waste of $210 - I didn't notice any difference in idle, in high rpm pull, in fuel economy - nothing. But they look good. Still not worth $210

the heatwrap was $35 and did a hell of a lot more than the hotwires. It kept the car running strong all day - no heat fatigue, so the car kept running hard. I noticed a significant change with the heatwrap.

they make black wrap too...and tan...and I'm sure you can get other colors also.

Something I wanted to mess with was making a fiberglass intake using an aftermarket intake as a mold. Doesn't seem too hard, but I'd have to be prepared to scrap a $250 intake if something fucked up.

yea lol. would be great for the heat though it it came out good. and i would get black but i already have white. got 100ft of white for $30 bucks. i was thinking of wrapping the intake in the white intake wrap and painting over it with the cermaic 1500 degree engine paint. think that would be good and worth it?
