I was gonna fabricate my own then I came across this http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/de...24HS3600P.html
Its also the cheapest I could find..
So what's the verdict yay or nay?
Reason why I'm interested is I went short ram..

 

I like. I moght go for this since I'm also considering making my own, just been too busy to start it. I wonder if I it would work with the Nismo intake. I made it short ram as well.

 

Duesexmax made his own... Its not as preeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttty ... but im sure it works as well if not better .. and A LOT cheaper

Dues post up some pics...

 

I did make my own:


But I took it off and have this on now:

 

Where did you buy the carbon fiber one at????looks nice

 

I think I'll just buy the injen one plus my cai is also injen.. Especially since it's universal...
But that is a clean looking heat shield Deus!!!

 

Dues has gone CF crazy! Looks good

 

I just bought that heat shield minus the "injen" logo for 8.95 on ebay. Same exact thing.

 

I've seen those. I heard they're crap though.

 

To spend 9 bucks to find out isn't that painful, right?

 

Nah of course not man. If it works it works, if its crap then whatever.

 

To be honest, I could probably fab a better heat shield than what I bought. I'm just lazy and it's easier to hit the "buy now" button.

 

It's understandable man I probably would have done the same.

 

I bought the same one of fleabay, but it was $19 with shipping. Looks the same and it does work. Cold to the touch after 25 miles (I checked when I got home from work)

 

I wonder if there's some type of spray on insulator to apply to the back side of the shield to promote better heat resistance. Any ideas?

This might just do the trick!!! and maybe finish it off with some heat resistant paint?

 

why short ram ? isn't cold air is better for our cars ? or no ? cai is for top end NO ?

 

I have a Berk intake. The filter is tucked away by the battery. I live in Houston and it floods out here. I work for the office of emergency management so I have to drive in bad weather condition. I don't need to worry about hydro-lock.

So I chose a mid-size intake. Far enough away from the engine but not in my fender well.

I guess you could debate if it's a short ram or a true cai but I think you'll find other threads about this topic. When I was looking into buying one I found hundreds of them.

 

i was wondering about this but still cant think of what would be better for the right price if anyone has a dyno sheet that shows which ran better on the same car i think that would show if cai or short ram is better. also nice carbon fiber shield looks nice
