Yeah it would be good on the intake. Keep in mind that the thermal wrap will alos trap in moisture and lead tocorrosion on the header. So if you wrap it try to keep it dry. Personally I'd prefer to get one coated rather than wrapping but on the intake I don't see anything bad about.

Ramsey racing will wrap it for you. But like KJ said, I wouldn't do the header due to the rust issue.....I have seen headers go to shit cause of the wrap. Ceramic coated is the best personally.

if it's ceramic coated you really don't need to wrap it, but i guess you could and it may reduce even more heat and you also wouldn't have to worry about the rust issue.

If it is ceramic coated then don't worry about it too much. Wrapping it will only help performance but you will lesson the asthetic life of your header. If that doesn't matter to you then do it. The intake wrap just go to United Speed World and buy a roll and wrap it, pretty straight forward.
