because double sided tape is great for thermal transfer..
its an interesting idea, but, I think you'd see surface temperature drops of 18f, not coolant temperature drops

Yeah, even with thermal trasfering tape I don't see this making enough of a difference to justify the cost. Not to mention, you really aren't cooling anything except the surface tempurature which is pretty pointless. I guess if you could stick it on and make it look cool you would get some asthetic value out of it, but performance wise it is worthless.

they work for lowering egt,s i read it in a modified mag i have here at the house on cars with larger turbos it help get the temps down... i wish i could find the mag but sadly i can not... but the did do extensive research in this idea and found for EXHAUST it was actually not a half ass bad idea.. just my 2 cents
