You could do something to make the pipe stay cooler. As Nick said, wrapping...some kind of insulating. Seeing as how they KKM filter connects to the MAF directly and so does the filter on this setup...I imagine the two would be interchangeable. By visual inspection a Miks heat shield would have to be modified slightly to fit with that setup. Guess I'll be ordering one to be the guinea pig for the custom setup. :p
