DIY: Easy MOD for colder AC
We all know the AC in the 8 is not the greatest. I have had this done on my car for sometime now and I am very happy with the result.
Things you will need: 1. Bag of small cable ties 2. Insulation (I chose a silver heat resistant fabris used for automotive insulation) Basically wrap the AC tube that runs along the firewall with the insulation then place the cable ties throughout the insulation. I spaced mine about 2-3 inches apart. I also cut out a small notch for the "knob" that is on the tube. I have attached a photo to help. I notice a difference in cooling and the tempature does not change like it did before. So far for about $20 bucks it is one of the better things I have done.

Do you have anymore info on the material you used? I have never seen such a thing...is it readily available at auto parts places?
I agree that the AC in the car is anemic at best...

I had the A/C amplifier tsb done on my car and it make a BIG difference. Instead of just cool air blowing (before replacing amplifier) it now blows really COLD air.
Why not just have the A/C amp tsb done?

I bought this materail at my local "tuner" shop, he uses it as a heat shield in various places on cars. There are people who have wrapped theirs with a foam pipe insulation and a heat reflective tape from home depot.
