I forget if this got posted but for some of you looking for Ideas.  Now dont go yelling at me because it's made out of aluminum. Weapon-R.Com At least its something. You can check my page of a Cold Air Intake, and the 3" aluminum pipe was ceramic coated by Jet Hot. I still need to do some updating. Im also gonna fabricate a heat shield blocking off my filter from the tranny. My current 3.0L swap is taking up all my time though.

$175 for an aluminum box, lol. I bet you could throw in a totally stock 'Tour, closed hood dyno and it would take away a measurable amount of horsepower. If you want to put a box around an open air element why not use the stock one?
Buy it, wedge it somewhere in the engine bay where you don't want heat, and use the intake hole to fill it with ice.

Overpriced Garbage IMO.

Try running a tube of cold air to it and see how much of an oven it becomes. I think it would work well if it was fed a cold air source. My brother had a set up similar to that on his 2000 GTI VR6 and the intake temp according to the computer was 10 to 15 deg over outside air at any speed over 15mph. I belive that was a 60 degree difference from the underhood temp.

Roger, the point is not the design of it, but the material choice. If you want to keep your air filter cold, you want to keep heat away from it. They chose aluminum, probably because it is inexpensive, and because it looks nice and shiny under the hood, and someone can annodize it for a show car. Because that is why you would buy it, because it would stick out with a fade annodization and racing stickers.

And as 3.0LSVT said, running the cold air tube would greatly reduce our first thought of Hot Aluminum. I dont think it's the best choice. Even I enhanced my aluminum cold air intake.

Just get an K&N drop in filter, keek the stock housing with the airbox on, if u want make an extension running into the fender, so it has sort of a ram air effect, and buy an intake insulator from Summitracing. Its a tape that you put on which keeps the heat out. and there wour CoLD AIR INTAKE !!! tape i think is like $50 and K&N is around the same price.
