In the past, blankets were used to keep hoods from blistering paint and of course, heat soak reduction of other components. I don't think performance was a primary consideration initially.
This was a very interesting video. They looked at how turbo blankets impacted the power output of an engine. Beware of cheap, fake "blankys" on net. Go with something like a PTP.

I'm not sure these are the correct products IF you are replacing your Haldex Midland brake manifold control with the latest version. The newer products are NOT a metal manifold. They are a plastic composite. These two sealers appear to be metal to metal.
I spoke with Haldex this AM. Nice guy. He stated that the only approved sealant for the composite manifolds is pipe dope, or PST565. NO TEFLON TAPE. NO RED LOCTITE.
"red" Loctite 492145 545 Pneumatic/Hydraulic Thread Sealant, but it is only compatible with metal. The air brake control manifold npt connections from Haldex appear to

Oh man. You have to be very brave to work on a transmission. Did it once (not an Alison), never again! Even if you watch a video, there are tons of subtleties (problem areas) that you need to be trained on. Tight clutch packs, wrong steels, kevlar clutches vs the typical, Blah Blah blah.
