Thanx for all the comments on the intake. I have to say it's my first performance mod and it's probably the best thing on my car yet.
I have considered putting a heat shield but then on the other hand I don't seem to notice a difference in performance when driving. When I get out of the car after 30 to 60 minutes of driving, I touch the pipe and sure enough it's burning hot but again, performance is still there even after 60 min of driving.
I said I'd put a recording of the new sound coming from the engine. Here it is:
Intake Sound BTW, I couldn't rev the engine higher than 3500rpm because IT'S AN ATX. GRRRRRR!!!!
Also, for the guy from Ottawa. If you decide to buy it, it would be coming from Toronto.
