The gasket helps keep away heat transfer. the heat dissipates out of the gasket before it get to the Intake manifold. wanna keep the air in the IM as cold as you can.

Before, my IM would be hot enought that i could not hold onto it.
with the thermal gasket i can keep my hand on the IM, id say about 10-15 degrees

its blue. and its pretty.
but seriously, it keeps your intake air cooler. cooler air is denser air, which means more oxygen for every spark which can only mean a stronger running car.

Cold intake air + hot manifold = hot air
Cold intake air + cold intake manifold = cool air
Thats why
Cold intake air + hot manifold = hot air
Cold intake air + cold intake manifold = cool air
Thats why

Re: Hondata Intake manifold gasket.
Unless you bypass ALL the coolant lines to the intake manifold I don't think that thing won't do much if anything...
The throttle body and intake manifold are heated.
Also not sure about the hondata one but whatever you get make sure that there are heatshielded washers too... otherwise the heat will soak through the bolts.
Frankly for how much of a pita it is to take off the intake manifold I don't see the value in doing it unless you're taking of the intake for somthing else...
I thought about doing one when I did my y8 intake manifold swap but I was running low on money and had no plans to bypass the coolant lines to the intake.
Take all of the above with a grain of salt though as obviously the majority of heat soak will come from the head... although again the direct connection may be broken but the radiant effect heat is still there.
