Coating the header - prevents some heat from rising up to the intake system. Therefore, effective.
OP/FP wrap - probably slightly effective, but still effective at reducing raising heat.
Guady Gold on the bottom of the IC - Prevents any ambient engine/exhuast heat from warming up the air on the hot side of the supercharger - should be effective.
Guady Gold on the it take system - probably effective.
Aluminum jungle gym in the bumper - Probably does something, but not anything that will help the sprintex kits real problems - high IAT?

The main cause of heat are the compressors, obviously the lower the IATs the better but +/- 5 Degrees C makes little difference to the post compressor charge temps. All the above are valid points to keep ambient bay temps down. OP/FP aren't in the bay to bother worrying about. The intake is plastic, pretty good insulator, but if you're going to gold the manifold, why not.
The stock intake already pulls air from the coldest area possible if the rad ducting is intact.
