Does anyone know where i can get a heat shield for my Intake.
Im looking for one just like the RMR, or something similar that i could just cut a hole in, to hook up the existing air duct.

I want to just get a Ebay intake kit with a K&N filter, but i want the heat shield also
so if someone knows where i can get one that'd be sweet. thanks

 

well Injen intakes also come with one. However id just suggest finding pictures and cutting one out of some sheet metal, you can buy it at alot of hardware stores.

 

do they work?

 

yeh thats prob a good idea.
Im on a limited budget so i cant really splash out on a $200 intake.



do what work? heat shields?

 

Yeah, if you work well with metal bend your own shield. I love my RMR intake and shield BTW...

 

Or, if you just want a cooler intake air temp, spend $4 on dryer ducting at Home Depot and some wire and vent the air from the front of the car to the SRI. It'll drop your temp by 30-40 deg plus it's cheaper and easier to make than a heat shield. If you move some stuff (turn your battery) you can duct it almost directly under the fliter so it'll rarely be seen, or just let it vent from the side. Search for "ram air" for more info.

 

you mean turn the battery sideways so the + terminal is towards the firewall?

 

well i am gonna get a hood duct. but i figured more air couldnt hurt. Or is the hood duct plenty enough?

 

Hood duct should do good. Just make sure you place it safely so rain doesn't soak your filter.

 

yeh im gonna get it done at a body shop. im buying the RRM carbon fiber duct. and i will have them install it about an inch in front of the sri. im also getting a K&N filter & wrap. so it should stand up the rain ok.
