I recently installed a cold air intake into my 2005 Scion tC. I was wondering if pipe that runs past the intake manifold should have a heat should or something to keep the pipe insulated. Should it be insulated? Or what the best method to do so?
Also the pipe for the intake is sold metal not any special material

 

Nope.

 

Wouldn't that negate the affect of the intake if the pipe get warm? All the air being sucked in should be cold but the warm pipe keeps it from doing that

 

Google. If it made that much of a difference for a street run car then everyone would do it.
