Thermal wrap tends to make headers rust after a while. Plus, then he wouldn't be able to enjoy the visual bling that the stainless provides

. Heat reflective tape could be be used on the intake, but since it's a CAI and not an SRI, the engine bay temps don't really affect it as it has a steady flow of air going through the pipe keep it cool. The only time reflective tape would come in handy would be if the engine was sat idling for a long time (such as in major traffic jams) as that's when heat-soak through the piping occurs. And again, the tape would make the set-up look rather messy.
