Offy intake heat

With all the talk going on with how to heat the offy dp intake. The heat plate on the bottom and the heated carb spacer. I've been thinking of using header wrap and wrapping the intake up. Would this be a good or bad idea? It would insulate the intake and keep the heat in it. Seeing that it gets fairly warm. I was just wanting to get some peoples ideas on if they think this is a good idea or not? I'm running a heated spacer now and it runs just fine but was thinking that if I did this that it would help it stay even warmer in the winter time.

I think if anything it would do nothing. Sounds kinda messy as well.

If you feel you need more heat why not use heated air off the exhaust manifolds?

Not really, as there's no direct Heat to the Header to begin w/ & Isolating it wouldn't do much to increase it.
