Can you "stack" the shrouds? If so, You're set up nicely to see if changing between 1" and 2" makes a difference.
My guess is that it won't make a difference temp-wise, but will be a bit quieter. If there's room to put foam on the inside of the shrouds without obstructing the airway, that should quieten things a bit. (I'm thinking of the really thin stuff like Akasa, which is only 4 or 5mm thick - so it'll only attenuate the very high frequencies, but those are the irritating ones, right?
