well as it says i got bored and decided to try and make a heat shield..i drove around with it and honestly cant tell any difference but w/e. it prolly only took about 30mins to make but i still need to smooth it out and such...





that shield gets reeeeeally freakin hot...

 

Does it prevent the air gettin to the intake????

 

my buddys injen intake for his celica came with one that looked similar to that. i dont think they prevent any air exept bad air. right? you want cold air not hot. so... looks like it should work. i saw some on ebay once for like 15 bucks. i sorta wish i had one.

 

na air still gets through, theres a small gap maybe about 1/4-1/2 in. inbetween the filter and the shield. i havnt felt any difference in power so i guess the only point it would serve is appearence. im sure it prevents some hot ait getting in but not a whole lot i would imagin...
