well since i work at home depot, i decided to do a heat shield and ram air setup on my car about 3 weeks back. my heat shield is completely enclosed on all sides except for the top because the hood closes on it. so that eliminates most of the heat soak. then i bought a 2.5" vucuum hose thats about 10ft long that cost $19 from home depot. i then cut a circle in the bottom of the heat shield and ran the hose into the bottom of it. from there i ran the hose down behind the battery to underneath the car to where the splash shield thing is. i used my vucuum end connector piece that looks like a scoop and cut a whole into the splash shield. i mounted the scoop onto the splash shield and connected the scoop to the vacuum hose. sounds kinda confusing, so ill try to take some pics for you guys. after all said it done, i noticed better acceleration and less bogging. and before this mod, my car would always lag when i had about 3 or 4 people in the car, but now it pulls lots harder with heavier loads in the car! and no stalling at all! pretty cheap mod and worth while doing i think!
