What are some of the ways to try to get the foil off the pipe, or should I say, what did you's do to get it off????

Here's the thing with that. You're not going to pick up much heat from under the hood because after going through the turbo, the air is heated. Under heavy boost, we're talking over 200*. After the intercooler, it's dropped to something like 120*. And don't forget that the **COLD** side I/C pipe is not insulated. That one is much more prone to pick up heat than the other because the air is much cooler, relatively.
Besides, it has been confirmed that Ford did it because of complaints of turbo noise from customers.

I like the foil delete mod. Mine sounds great plus I polished my tube when it was off and it looks nice too. I do agree it was a pain to take off foil but I was doing my glow plugs and UVC connector mod so I thought what the hell whats another hour or so.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

Ok, I didn't know weather I would do it or not. You guys talked me into it. I am doing my auto hub grease job this weekend, so I will do that too. I should like the added shine under the hood.
