I stopped getting email notifications of replies. Wow, this took a horrible turn.
First, the tubing I'm suggesting I am already using, but I have only the 4" version. This is not dryer ducting because it's smooth as hard plastic on the inside, and the way that it's designed lets it bend so that air continues flowing smoothly. It does not heat up and is better at maintaining a general temperature than plastic.
Second, wrapping an air intake in header wrap may keep heat in. Also, you'd have to buy aluminum piping and header wrap, and that may be the same price as this double-ply silicone tubing. For those who have aluminum piping or an intake already, this isn't much of a point, but I did start the thread trying to get people with either a stock intake or a bad one to replace their tubing with some good stuff.
Third, if you're running boost, don't buy silicone tubing. Aluminum pipes have already been proven to work and to bring in ambient temp air after an intercooler.
