I do not have "before" measurements, but driving around in city traffic today in the 89F afternoon sun, I'm reading a nice cool 50F coming out of the dash vents. I'd be interested to know if anyone has measured their air temp at the vent in stock configuration, but seat of pants feel is that the already good A/C is working even better now.

I am not convinced insulating the pipes will have an effect on what is going on in the evaporator, which is under the dash.

Take your time to get a good fit while minimizing twists and kinks in the foam.
