I know it's too late for him, but this type of air intake can actually hurt performance more than it helps... no longer will it be sucking in cooler ambient temperature air, but hot, engine bay air... there may be less restriction, but the higher temps will negate that...
When they test this on a dyno though, they open the hood and put a fan right on top blowing nice cool air, so it does show a slight power increase...
My advice - build a cold air box to run cool air to the filter and block it off from the rest of the engine compartment... then... wrap the pipe in heat wrap - because it is aluminum it will get hot with engine compartment heat and act like a heatsink to warm the incoming air even more - another bad thing... the plastic/rubber stock tubing actually insulates the air to an extent...

He's right though. Try making some kind of heat shield or air duct. product.sc has an air duct that I have yet to see pics of. Hint hint* I'll post a pic of my heat shield for you if I can find it.

You guys i just switched it and it runs like a million bucks... i took it for a spin at 1:20 in the morning and opened her up... i felt it, and i mea honestly... it sounds like heaven is singing out my intake and exhust... so amazing... thanks guys once again... its now 1:30 and i gotta go wake at 5:50 for school... haha goooood night
the idea is to keep hot air away from the intake. as cold air is more dence. [more oxygen in hense]
get that idea right, and youll learn it just fine.
