I think Randy is saying that the stock pad absorbs heat; the foil one reflects heat back to the engine. this could increase engine temperatures - although I believe this potential increase in engine temperatures would be negligible.

Now, in my case, I think this one should cool better than the crumbling saggy mess I had in there before. Hard to cool the engine without airflow around it.

And yes, sweet97m3 I did all this bling…
