I have to be honest... I have no idea how this thing would attach to your intake then. It's held in place mostly by the four MAF nuts and bolts, so with no rear attaching point, I don't see how it could work on your car.
Now, with my original design that I did, I had the bottom piece extend out to the tranny mount. Once there, it was bolted down using the two bolts that went there. I might be able to work something out using that design, but I just don't see how this one would fit.

If it'll help, I can grab some pictures of my SHO Shop heatshield to show how they do it.

I like your heatshield unisys but for lazy folks ya'll can do what I do. I just get some foam board at the crafts store and cut pieces and make a heat shield. Takes maybe 5 minutes and it works pretty darn good. My shield actually extends from front of car to back. Using one piece then battery, then more foam, then filter/pipe, then foam, then strut tower. Only downside is the foam board gets soft after a few months and you gotta do it all over again, but like I said it only takes 5 minutes and it blocks heat probably better than aluminum. Ooo and it looks like crap.

Basically, I need the measurement from the TB to point where the MAF and MAF adaptor meets. Just measure from the point i have in the picture above to the point where the MAF and MAF adaptor meets and I should be good.
Thanks a ton!

Um... You got a red-eye reduction setting for that camera?
And what's with the pink oil cap? How many HP for that?
(snicker, snicker)
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
