aftermarket radiator with air intake duct
I have a Koyo Radiator and I took off the intake duct, now I was wondering if it's possible to put it back on with out melting it? Would I have to put some sort of Heat reflective tape or wrap?

Do not confuse temperature with heat and/or the transfer of heat. They are different. |

the reson they did that wasnt to keep the plastic from melting...and wrapping plastic parts of the intake was a waste of time, anyway
