    heat shields for pod filter

    has anyone got something similar to this item:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Apiro-Stainless-Steel-Induction-Air-Filter-Heat-Shield_W0QQitemZ200330478492QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item2003304784 92&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683|66%3A2 |65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

    is it worth getting 1 of these things?

    Yeah I got one of them.

    Got it awhile back so I can't remember how much difference it made, but that + a cold air pipe seems to help it along, especially when the engine warms up.

    I think you'd be wasting your money. Unless you completely separate the pod from the engine bay your still sucking in hot air and that bit of steel is just going to get hot and restrict flow Click here to enlarge
