I used heatwrap on my PVC intake. Insulation is thick, and doesn't stick to itself sometimes, which makes it a PITA to use. Also, it does heat-soak after a while, unfortunatly.

So, after a while, the inside of the tube or pipe gets so hot, that the heat shield is just holding excess heat in the tube. If you have a CAI coming from the fender well, that may be different.
