It is make of a a non-conductive material that insulates the intake manifold from the heat in the head, thus keeping the intake manifold cooler, which transfers less heat to the incoming air charge resulting in denser, cooler air which = MORE HP!!!!

Well, it sooooounds good, but it's pricey. Might get more sales with a
lower price point and make up the perceived difference in profits in
greater volume.

I like the idea, but I'm concerned the head will be just as hot as
always and the heat needs to go somewhere so, will it really work? Any
dyno graphs for proof? Hmmmm.
