So I did a little research to back up my aluminium thermal insulation of my intake :
Thermal radiant barriers possess the characteristics of low emissivity, low absorptivity and high reflectivity in the infra-red spectrum. They may also exhibit this for other wavelengths including visible light but this is not necessary for its function as thermal barrier. Only a small fraction of radiant energy is absorbed by such a material (most being reflected back away) and therefore only a small fraction is re-emitted. Highly polished metals are such an example . Conversely, dark materials with low reflectivity will absorb a large fraction of energy and similarly emit a large fraction.
Therefore my aluminium heatwrap effectively shields my intake from unwanted heat and keeps the air inside at whatever temperature it is. I agree that the temperature inside may be open to debate due to the location of the filter.
