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.
I’m down to try this. What are you using to hold the filter in? Looks like some screws and washers. Any damage done that would not make this reversible? Yes. Sound clip please
