Are there really any harmful effects from this? From browsing the forums, it looks like lots of people set up their intakes this way with no problems. Not to say you're wrong, but I'm just wondering since I can't figure out any other way to do it.
Also, I want to put some sort of airbox around my cone filter with a pipe going either to the bottom of the engine compartment or the wheel well. I've seen lots of heat shields for sale, but most of these aren't full enclosures. Any suggestions for one that i can hook up a flexible intake hose to so I can draw in cold air?
