Cold air intake shield?
I'm not sure if this is the right name for the part, but its kinda like a metal shield that the intake pipe goes through right where the piping connects to the filter and it blocks off the engine heat from the filter when the hood is closed. Do these really work for isolating the heat from going into the intake? And also, can I buy one pre-made or will i have to fabricate it myself?

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

I fabricate crap all the time (kinda my job) so of course I made one. Does it work? I think so. Here are some pics of it getting built.
Mockup
Lucite measured and ready to be cut
Lucite bent to the proper angle
Shield painted blue
Heat screen/blanket attached to the backside of the shield
And here it is all said and done.

this would only be effective if the filter was underhood as well.
damn fine job on the box otherwise.

Originally posted by JDMchristian991 View PostI did have a SRI and it did a great job blocking the heat and kept the filter much cooler under the hood.

IMO don't waste you time making one of these if its a CAIwat?Comment

Well i have a cai but i modified it a little so it sticks halfway in the fender and halfway in the engine compartment. If i make one of these and do it perfect so that when the hood is shut, it makes a tight seal, it could only do good. Plus the cost of material would probably be like $4 so even if it only gives it like a half hp, its still worth it for $4 I think.Comment

I made mine for... well however much it cost me to run the power tools ($.17?). Everything else was free.
