Can this product be used on an automotive aluminum air intake runner (aka K&amp;N) to keep the heat out?

it can be used on the aluminum air intake runner however if there is heat in the air runner it will actually keep it in but if you're worried about heat getting into it then yes it will keep the air intake cool on the inside

This CANNOT be adhered directly to any exhaust piece. This is to be used on electronics, module, sensors, firewall, etc. It will melt and burn if the adhesive side contacts any hot exhaust piping. Good luck!

This unit needs a steel oil pan to attach so it would not attach to your aluminum pan. Kat's does make a pad type heater that glues on the pan that would probably work.

Don't know if it is compatible with aluminum radiators. Best to call Evans directly and ask them

Your not suposed to, but i have done it befor, it works, but you will probly have to rip some of the fins of the heat sink to. Also a cars brake line makes a good tube for the coolent.

No. I don't believe this particular Tracer should be used in A/C. I think they or someone else makes that specific product.

I Would not spray it on exhaust or anything that heats up. It's basiclly a semi soft robbery coating.

You can if you wanted to , but honestly it really does its job well when its on an intake fan ( because that is where most of the dust comes in from ) it does not restrict to much to be honest and I'd like to think it would be fine on either or :3 Hope that helps !

I don't know the answer. If it uses antifreeze though or a similar coolant, I don't see why not. Call the Evans engineers and they will tell you whether or not it's applicable to your specific vehicle's engine.

Yup, though I didn't use it, preferring a somewhat higher-grade product for premium performance (IC Diamond 7 Carat Diamond Thermal Compound in my case; there are other similar products). Incidentally, I found that running a slender bead of T-compound ALONG each of the heat-pipe bottoms - the copper surfaces, not the aluminum (rather than a single blob in the center of the heatsink surface) produced a superior heat-transfer result. Good luck!

You could try a test patch in an easy place to remove if it doesn't work. I haven't used it on a radiator hose where it would get hot.

Assuming it's protected from rain and wind and GFI protected, why not? If I were to do it, I'd apply a coat of really good polymer automobile wax, depending upon where you live. If it's very humid or salty-air, anything can rust. I've had mine for a year and it works great. Word to the wise...it makes a bit of noise when the compressor runs, which I traced to the removable drip tray, accessible from the back. I finally used a rubber band around the tray which seems to keep it tight and very quiet.

I would say most likely. Check in your owners manual to see if your car calls for G12 coolant, which is aluminum engine safe.

Metal does conduct heat more than plastic so it would naturally get hotter than the plastic that k& n uses....it's expensive but it'll last a lifetime with the proper care of the filter

My guess is probably YES. Since it's designed for in-line application. Most hard plastic don't melt at low temperatures such as hot air of your central. I have seen those aluminum covered plastic expandable lines used for dryer exhaust, which is hotter than the central air. Also I guess it's the distance away from your central air which is why you are using it. I hope someone else has a better answer for you.

Thanks for the reply. Worked GREAT in the application...now we will see how it stands-up to the summer interior heat of the car.

I seriously doubt it, the back panel would block most of the warm/cold air coming from your vent. not to mention the temperatures from your a/c can easily be handled by today's smartphones! :)
