It may not hurt, but it probably won't measurably help either.=C2=A0If ther=
e were more room around the existing 4" (?) duct, insulating it with about =
1/2" closed cell rubber insulation might produce measurable results.Given t=
he lack of space around the 4" duct, perhaps wrapping 1/2" closed cell rubb=
er insulation around a 3" diameter duct might work well. The air flow thru =
the 3" duct might not be reduced much & it should be much closer to ambient=
 temperature.=C2=A0

 buy a second set of ducts, slice them length wise and slip over with the s=
lice hidden under the fenders.. can't hurt?
