don't worry about getting one. people with quality stuff like aem or k&n don't need to worry shrouds - if you get any gains, they'll be tiny

smae happened to me with my Ebay short ram, was sitting right n the radiator hoses i think. I got a shroud (heat shield) and that did it for me. Now just got to get my AEMDryflow and get rid of my partially melted ebay filter :eek:

Yeah, myfilter is getting messed up because of the heat and because its sitting on the engine mount because the cheap intake tube I have doesn't have a bracket on it to mount to the shock tower. When I get my tax refund, Im getting an AEM V2 intake for it so that it actually gets cold air and not hot air from the engine compartment...
