Sorry, I tried searching for over two hours and didn't find what I needed, so I am stuck asking =/
Correct. The are true cold air intake kits; but they require you to cut a 3" hole and move the battery/fuse box around, etc. So no, there is no true CAI set up that bolts right in. The CTA set up is not a cold air intake. It's commonly referred to as a HAI. I had one on my old Zetec and saw some gains (pics in sig lol). Zetec Ninja is probably getting the most gains out of his CTA because he has a CAI extesnion that moved the filter out of the engine bay and under neath the bumper. A heat sheild would help you emulate the CAI effect, yes. BUT it still can't provide as cool of air as the CAI does. It is still immersed in the hot air of the engine bay; and it is still drawing hot air from inside the engine bay. Really and truly, the best set up (temperature wise) would be something similar to SleeperZ's and Zetec Ninja's; then wrapped in heat reflective exhaust wrap. Basically, if SleeperZ and Zetec Ninja had a baby...there you go. 
...and shut up Hector, we know you've got your CTA ghettoed on a JRSC.
