This is the second and more improved heat shield I made to keep the hot engine bay air away from the k&n air intake I have Installed. It is made of aluminum sheet metal, zip ties and rubber hose. The afm is attached to it so the air flows through the shield. It allowed me to remove the braces for the afm since the shield fits so well. And as far as result go it seems to be making a big difference. Just on feel of the air temp I can notice a difference after a drive.
