Intake Wrap?

Intake Wrap?
Hey guys,
A cold air intake without a doubt helps performance. As we know they're made of aluminum. Aluminum absorbs heat pretty quickly. Well what i'm getting at is...
Exhaust wrap is used on headers to keep the heat from escaping.
Is there anything that someone can wrap around the aluminum intake to keep heat OUT and keep the air inside even cooler?
Thank you kind sirs

Ice would melt too quick then just serve as a potential electrical hazard with extra weight i don't need. For the track it's not a bad idea, but I wouldn't use ice. I would use those gel packs you get at the hospital to put on swelling and stuff. Those stay colder much longer. That stuff is sold alot of places..you can make one that wraps your intake just right.
I'm just looking for somethign to help me keep the air a bit cooler though..no need to turn my engine bay into a fridge.
