Then you would be starving for air inside the cab not to mention all the noise it would create!
Just find some insulation wrap and line the ouside of the CAI pipe with it. This will reduce the pipe temps considerably. While it won't look all that great, it will help out alot. I did this to my mustang for dyno purposes. i used header heat wrap. It lowered temps from 180* at full boost down to 160*
