but your intake does not produce heat therefore, having heat stay in the area where you have your filter, is not gonna b any benefit to you, you cannot use the same principle as the heatshield on the turbo, with your intake you wanna try the best you can to deflect that heat coming from the engine bay

i got barely a drawing trying to explain what i mean
