Reflect A Gold - anybody used it?

I am going to wrap my intake and the bottom of my air box with something that reflects or protects against radiant heat. In my search, I came across Reflect A Gold. Anybody tried it?

http://www.articlesbase.com/cars-art...e-4350926.html.

I did a search on the forum. There seems to be some in favor and some against. I know some of you do not believe protecting the intakes and other parts of the engine from radiant heat results in any performance gain or reduce performance loss due to heat. However, I do believe there is some positive effect. That is why I was looking to purchase reflect a cool, cool tape or similar products that is intended to withstand or reflect radiant heat. This is also why I was curious if anybody tried this reflect a gold product. Thanks ahead for any response.
