The amount of heat energy “radiated” by the engine to the aluminum intake pipe is negligible compared the heat energy added to the air during compression. I would guess that it’s also even less than the amount of heat energy conducted through the intake manifold and throttle body. A “radiation barrier” isn’t going to do much.
Some people use phenolic throttle body spacers to limit conduction heat transfer, which should at least result in a measurable difference.
If you’re after cooler temperatures, just replace the stock intercooler with a Front-Mount Intercooler from eBay. :)
