Here's my setup as mentioned in the post above. A/C still blows cold (was a very minor concern) but the air smells a little like engine bay for a second or two after start-up.

I accept all your "hot air intake" jokes and concerns. But, I've tested the IATs, and, when you're moving faster than 25mph, they are no more than 2-3 degrees higher than the stock system. I do still want to rig up a heat shield, and grab some ducted air from the front of the car or do those silly scoops to feed some more fresh air to the filter. Plus, the noise is fantastic (clip coming soon) and then goes totally animalistic in the higher ranges of the motor.
