that's what I was thinking... looks very small and restrictive, proberbly be better off putting a standard airbox in that's been smoothed out and the r32 snorkel/intake/what ever you want to call it...

 :huh: :huh:

How is it restrictive???? A heat shield blocks heat and keeps the filter cool :rolleyes: you would want closed up as possible to keep the filter cool :smiley:

Having the filter fully enclosed in a airbox is not more restrictive then an open heat shield???

To be honest I would love to see the difference in intake temps with the use of the shield in the link,
I'm doubtful that they are that effective.

I did a physical test  :grin: ran it without the shield and the filter was hot after a good blast. Ran it with shield and stayed cool. So its a win for me.

sorry was on phone, thought it covered the air snorkel/intake to the air box/what ever its called... was going to say with it being that small the engine would suck in all the air that's in there faster than the air would be able to fill it back up if you get me... now iv looked at it on the computer I can see that it doesent cover the intake so yeah egnore my previous comment...
