RE: New Intake Time!
it will deflect most of the heat from the intake. I was thinking on doing that to mine, but I like the look of my aluminum pipe and I dont want to see header rap all over the intake.
after a long drive my intake tube gets pretty hot. but I think I'll just leave it. does anybody with the plastic tube notice if theres gets hot after a long drive?

RE: New Intake Time!
i was surprised at how well it looked. judging by the ebay pic it looked horrible, but on the truck it dressed up the engine compartment. you might want to get some kind of weather stripping for the top. that way it doesnt cut into the hood lining

you should cut a hole through your rubber shielding behind the grill inbetween the rt light and the radiator to let some cool air through so u don't have all the hot air off the engine hitting it, or just remove it alltogether. i'd show you my set up but i tried posting pictures once or twice and it didn't work. how the preformance? i also put in an alum tube on it thinking it would be a smoother flow than the ribbed rubber piece but the alum. gets really hot, might go back to rubber or just insulate the tube really well. i like the way it looks for pretty not that much $$.whatqaulity is thefilter and how is the fit???

If you use header wrap on the intake will it get hot and trap the hot air in the intake or will it deflect most of the heat getting into the intake?
