well i was reading some posts about some members trying to get cooler air into their intake so i went out to home depot and bought 4" black drain pipe ($4) and a roll of stick-on insulation foil ($16).
i wrapped my K&N heat shield (both sides) in the foil and some other parts of the intake area to block out all engine heat. then i cut a small piece of the 4" pipe and managed to shove it into the underneath of my car, tie wrapping it in place below the intake and having it run to the lower grille of my car and tie wrapping it there in place.
here's the outcome:
i was washing my car afterwards (even though it doesn't look like in the last picture, my bumper is just jacked up, needs a good compounding/buffing wheel session. black shows every damn mark) and i noticed when i went to take pictures i got some water into the pipe. you think it would be a good idea to purchase a k&n drycharger? or do you think it wouldn't be a problem since the cone isn't in the bumper? http://store.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=RC-4630DK
