Default Password:JDM Thermal Shield Intake Gaskets worth it?

Anyone can tell me results on this gasket from password jdm.
As product describes>

Password:JDM Thermal Shield Intake Gaskets are inexpensive and very effective! By using a special material, the intake manifold is better insulated from the hot cylinder head. This lowers intake air temperature which, results in more horsepower and protection against detonation.

- Reduces HP robbing heat transfer into the intake manifold
- Precision CNC machined for superior quality
- Dramatically reduces intake air temperature
- Increases horsepower

Please if anyone uses this let me know results etc.

Rishi

Don't expect to see anything noticeable from one. I have one, and used a heat gun for comparison before/after, about 15 degrees F colder after 20min on the Dyno. They work, but it isn't anything to jump up and down about

It does have its merit.
