Question How to keep heat off of custom intake??

So i made a custom 3.5" Polished stainless intake and my IATS are ridiculous!! Anybody have any ideas for wrap or coating or anything that will reflect or keep the pipe from heat soaking so i can hopefully cool down a bit? Thanks

Have any pics of it? I think coating will do a great job.

Heat control powder coating. As what is used in Steinless Steel headers.

What are your IATS?

Holy cheetos. Thats nuts. Soo those IATS numbers when up when you made the custom intake? If you cant seem to bring them down I would switch to some different cooler material. Im sure someone has done something similar on here.
