Intake heat shield
I looking to buy/make a heat shield for my intake and was hoping to get some ideas. I really like the intake shield from 9sec9/Indy Evo, but I am not running the stock intake snorkel so I suspect I will have to doing some modify if I go that route. Anyway, if you are running a heat shield, I would love to see it!
PS. I am working with a HKS intake pipe and an Amsoil filter at the moment.

The HKS intake actually gives you a good amount of "wiggle room" in designing / fabricating your own heat shield or cold air box. Its just a matter of how much time and money you're inclined to put into the project. There's a lot of creative ideas and pics in these forums. Here is what I did, but its not for everyone. Good luck!

Is the dv not as loud with the intake in that chamber? One thing I dont like about the aftermarket intakes is how loud the dv gets with them so I was thinking about doing something similar.

The top is 1/4 " Makrolon polycarbonate. If you can avoid it, don't use plexiglass.The Makrolon is used in race car windshields, etc. Its way stronger, won't crack, and is more heat resistant. The sides are .092" aluminum (before polishing .) Thanks for the kind words.

I have a redneck version that's butt ugly, but I bet it works just as good as any other. Consists of chunks of foam wedged throughout, even glued to the hood. MAF IAT never exceeds 5 degrees higher than ambient, even after 1 hour in the city.
