If the fins were a solid material, or even thicker walled hallow core, it would work much more efficient. I would even suggest using copper as a better alternative, but copper is a less tensile and durable metal. If I were to do this, I would get a decent gauge aluminum mesh, and build 2-3 offset layers and physically wrap the lower IC piping with a heat transfer coating. Also a strong heat shield should be in place, as heat-sinking works both ways. It could help the item absorb heat from the turbine area ect. I wouldnt count on this for transmission cooling though. Looks like they had a simple idea that works slightly in theory, and needed some ideas where to use it. (hence the transmission ect.). ARC is sort of dissapointing lately....

Also our transmissions have cooling fins galore already. Install of this type product over such finned areas would decrease airflow to the more efficient solid fins of the transaxle and increase heat within the unit as the incoming air is blocked by the "magic" cooling fins.
