I love my engine bay again!
Piping is 3" with Chromex Ceramic Coating.
CAI is also 3" using a 3.5" - 3" silicone adapter, K&N filter with a 3" opening, and a 90 degree bend - also ceramic coated with Chromex.
I stupidly forgot to do the little tiny bend between the straight pipe and the MAF. I'll be taking that in next week to get Chromexed.

But I've decided I can live with it.....the Blitz BOV I have wasn't much better even with a weakened spring anyway.

Auburn, WA - about 20 minutes from my house in Puyallup, WA (Seattle area).
They do shipping - but there's probably someplace in your area that does it.
The coating was invented by NASA and resists heat up to 1300 degrees.....

I am still confused why people wrap their pipes or, like you mention here, coat their pipes to keep heat out. I've done a lot of tinkering with my Autometer intake temp gauge and my digital oven thermometer (with a remote probe and min and max memory) ($13 at Wal-Mart). I can assure you that boost it much hotter than engine bay temps. It seems like you are trapping heat in your pipe when you coat/cover them. ?

Simple. Because it looks sexy.
It's not an insulator, it's a heat barrier. Likely on the relatively low amount of heat the S/C puts out it doesn't make any difference.
I can say I've dynoed with heat resistant coating and without, and while I never did a technical comparison, there was no negligable difference I could detect.
