I'm in the process of doinng a few mods to my SVT and the next thing I wanted to tackle was the intake. I plan on getting an optimized TB from bnoon. I want it powder coated to match the red accents on the engine.
I was also looking at cleaning the manifiolds and getting an intake. I know one of the most circulated suggestions is just a MAF adapter and a filter with a home made heat shield, but I was looking at something a little more polished looking.
With that said, what's the consensus on the best gaining complete intake system, the SHO Shop CAI, the AEM kit available at draxis.com (formerly duratecperformance), or the BAT pipe with a filter and MAF adapter? At this point I'm leaning toward the SHO Shop CAI since it includes a heat shield. Any comments on this would be appreciated.
I would have searched, but it's disabled.
Thanks.

 CAI Intake made by GMK will be offered soon...but, if you already have an MAF adapter or short ram intake you can order the extension right now which is $110. but if u wanna go the cheaper route, stick with a BAT pipe, MAF Adapter, & K&N filter w/ heatshield

Problem with the GMK is the modification necessary to mount the filter low. I'd get the BAT pipe, filter and adapter, but the SHO Shop CAI comes with the heat shield. I havent been able to find an aftermarket supplier that sells any on a stand alone basis. Maybe this would be a nice group buy, get a CEG'er who has made a few and have him run out a bunch for some members?
So, with that said, is the heat provided by the SHO Shop kit good enough to justify the added cost?

well i have the sho shop. i like it, although it is a little high priced, but i got mine when it was on sale (~$110 IIRC). many people will say make your own intake with the maf adapter, big K&N (dont remember the call number), and make your own heatsheild.
one more thing. sho shop has changed to evo sport, and people have been having problems getting parts from them for our cars since then. just something to think about.
