Thinking about designing an intake for the Supercharged XF

Well, this engine bay does seem to be particularly prone to heatsoak, and when I'm idling in traffic (or even just driving) my metal intake pipes get HOT.
Carbon fiber is much better at insulating the air flowing through the pipe from the engine bay temperature. This is why Formula One and some of the high-end supercars use CF intake chambers.
