Cold Air Intake systems is not realistic, because the intercooler is gonna cool it down anyways. I am very happy with my A'PEXi intake: turbo spools faster, nice sounds, easy to install.

Hey option2, pardon my ignorance, I know the heat shield is to ensure that the intake does not suck in the hot air in the engine bay which is due to the heat from the engine. But it looks restrictive in getting an air at all!!! Have you tried driving the car with the heat shield on and off to test its effectiveness?

Come on man, it's not that difficult if you follow the instructions. Actually, I was able to borrow some professional tools from my friends at a local Honda dealership. Having the right tools makes it so much easier!
