my intake burns to the touch after a drive do you think the tape from the tunnel shield would last? or would it peel off because of heat

Floor and Tunnel Shield was designed to withstand direct temperatures up to 1750°F. Because of it’s unique material, it is capable of insulating against unwanted road noise up to 50%.

Constructed utilizing an embossed 10 mil aluminum face bonded to a 1/8” composite fiberglass insulation, Floor and Tunnel Shield is backed with an aggressive adhesive that holds past 450°F. Only 3/16” thickness it requires minimal clearance and can be shaped and trimmed for a custom fit.

Floor and Tunnel Shield provides the optimal way to reflect heat away from vehicle components and perfect for protecting under hoods, firewalls, fuel cells, exterior areas such as transmission tunnel, floorpans and other under-vehicle locations.


I doubt you would still have your fingers if you touched it and it was over 450F. I would also ditch the plastic valve cover cover it is just going to trap heat.
