Not what they want, give customer what your advertise, LOL
You sell cold air intake that has "gasket" to insulate from engine bay, then put one that works as advertised, if they feel like it don't need to touch hood, why bother with gasket at all?
Right?

First AirAid sent me same gasket I already had.
I replied back telling them this is now what I asked for and they told me that this is only gasket they have and have nothing else to offer.
Then I replied with this link as a reference: https://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,3492.msg54567.html#msg54567

Glad it worked, now let's see if it actually ships.  LOL.

I also had Airaid send me an upgraded Taller seal (strip) many years ago and after much trial & error needed to bend the seal (outwards) due to the seal touching the inside hood liner while ultimately leaving an indentation..
I found using a heat gun on the seal to be ideal in order for the hood to close and seal properly.. Some food for thought. Z

@SuperPete
That's because the wrap you used doesn't do much for a radiant barrier. Use a reflective heat radiant barrier tape and you will see better results. I dropped my max iat2 idle temp after extended driving to 130ish degrees. Before the radiant tape on my hot pipes and cold air pipe my extended drive then idle temps would exceed 140 deg f.
That exhaust wrap is going to take whatever heat soaks into that pipe and keep it in that pipe.

Does the hood close properly ? Here is a PIC of the Taller Strip for comparison. Z





I'd like to know more about your oil cap...
