Hopefully they're doing what you expected them to Brian. If I had to guess with all the blankets the reflective wrap on the lines aren't needed that badly anymore? :D

I had thought of doing one of these last time I had mine apart. Noticable difference in anything on a stock charger truck with stock CP3/ bigger nozzles ?

Honestly, it wasn't really a noticeable change in initial spool up on a VVT truck. (Stock turbo, nozzle) They get quite a bit better in mid-range spool up though. They come up on boost harder/quicker once you're underway, passing gear, etc. Underhood temps are night and day difference. It also dropped 20 degrees off intake charge temps on a 80 degree day blasting around town. From 125 to 105. I ran it without a blanket first so the numbers are a little low if anything. Hope that helps! :)

Was more curious than anything. Always thought they were more for competition use.

Not necessarily. They work in both applications but I would say they're just as helpful in a DD/tow rig where underhood temps can get high enough to cause burning issues with the factory underhood insulation. Good piece of mind knowing the heat is where it's supposed to be.
