CAI Injen Universal Heat Shield !!!!

I was gonna fabricate my own then I came across this http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/de...24HS3600P.html
Its also the cheapest I could find..

To spend 9 bucks to find out isn't that painful, right?

To be honest, I could probably fab a better heat shield than what I bought. I'm just lazy and it's easier to hit the "buy now" button.

I bought the same one of fleabay, but it was $19 with shipping. Looks the same and it does work. Cold to the touch after 25 miles (I checked when I got home from work)

I wonder if there's some type of spray on insulator to apply to the back side of the shield to promote better heat resistance. Any ideas?

I have a Berk intake. The filter is tucked away by the battery. I live in Houston and it floods out here. I work for the office of emergency management so I have to drive in bad weather condition. I don't need to worry about hydro-lock.

So I chose a mid-size intake. Far enough away from the engine but not in my fender well.

I guess you could debate if it's a short ram or a true cai but I think you'll find other threads about this topic. When I was looking into buying one I found hundreds of them.

i was wondering about this but still cant think of what would be better for the right price if anyone has a dyno sheet that shows which ran better on the same car i think that would show if cai or short ram is better. also nice carbon fiber shield looks nice
