AMS Intake Shield to fit on Cobb SF Intake?
Pretty much what the title was...will the AMS intake heat shield fit on the Evo when the Cobb SF intake is installed? I dont really want to make one my self thats why i was wondering if the ams one will fit on there. Any feedback???

If you post a picture of a Cobb intake install, I can make a guess. It basically mounts at an angle between the stock airbox bracket post that sticks out into the engine bay and the stock airbox's mount point on the fender behind the headlights.

still have not recieved it but i was looking at some pictures and i see that one of the mounting points is on the LICP fastening hanger which only comes on the STOCK LICP... i have the ams LICP and it does not have that point... seems strange especially when you install the AMS LICP the stock airbox and brackets have to go out.... interested in seeing how it comes out... will take some pics and post them...

I think it's about idling issues with the open filter.

yea, I remember seeing that waay back, but i believe it was also isolated to certain intakes... To be completely honest, I think the idling issue was more of a viral phenomenon and its actually not as widespread of an issue as most think.
My 2 cents is: run it first as-is and see if it idles funny. if it does, THEN get the shield. Also, figure out if its the factory reflash that you need, or whether the "idle" fluctuations are actually just the AC condenser coming turning on and off.

Although people are buying parts for the EVO left and right.

I had a chance to talk to Tim Bailey at Surgeline Tuning, one of our COBB Premier Facilities. Basically, any short ram can encounter a slight varience in the idle when the AC or radiator fans kick on. There is no way to tune for this as it is an intermitent issue and is mechanical in nature. A baffle would help this issue or an "ice box" around the filter element to block the cross-flow of air from the radiator fans.
