The way I see it, I think its pointless to make a cold air intake...cause they dont really increase performance cause your not getting any more cold air than the stock one, And to make it look nice...well the rest of the engine bay looks like crap anyway. The heat shield is a good idea tho. The only reason i changed mine was to get rid of that muffler than was in the intake. I have a steel tube now going from my TB to my MAF. Or if you somehow get air from outside. That would be the best way. Hood scoop?

i thought i was the only one keeping tabs on the posts, well, i've been kinda busy, its warm out in the chi, so anyways

there is a point of putting the cold air intake, but most of the intakes u see here are short-ram intakes, jus designd to retro-fit the old intake system, its a short ram for a few good reasons,
1) easy fit & replace the old unit
2) easy cleanup when it gets dirty
3) easy to reach for any maintenance

a real cold air intake uses a long tube that extends close to the ground since cold air drops to the ground and hot air rises (its science) , im working on that too, i just gotta figure out the degree bends thati need ,

im gonna put the intake in front of the car behind the foglight, im gonna use that hole where the old inlet used to go, so that way my filter is gonna be away from heat and water at the same time, that concept might change since im thinkin of taking out my foglight

well when your moving the filter being higher or lower wont matter, just that its getting air from outside and not from in the engine bay. Thats the part you dont want. But even If you do get the filter outside, There probably will be no noticaeable gain. The restriction from the tube still adds up. Even if the tube is straight, Because its friction is a coefficent of length. But screw sicence, just do whatever floats your boat and looks cool i guess lol.

hell yeah there you go, if science and all the physics of your intake wont do shit for you, at least, it looks good right?
