Ok I am thinking of doing my intake but from reading the topics I am unsure it is a good idea. I want to do a simple job, just take the old box out and get a MAF adaptor and K&N Cone filter. Then I was looking for a heat sheild... does anyone know where i can find one? I might just get someone to make it here but if I can find one online I would rather get it online. Does this actually increase power or driveability? Thanks.
