Better CAI
I am trying to get my cai temps down. What do you all think about putting the filter in here?: There is enought room in there, but I am concerned of any excess water that could get in there. Here is a few pics of my current setup. The crappy apc filter will be replaced
The front valence could protect it.

Sweet!
I figure i will do it like the Intense fwi is done.
The shinny part is from a 98-02 honda del sol CIA kit (minus silicone connector) modified to my liking works great!

Yea, I am going with the heat shield idea as the hole is too small for a filter and it is dangrously close to water down there. What would be a good material for the box? I am thinking some bendable sheetmetal or such.

Hey dive,
I just finished my heatshield yesterday. I went to Lowe'* (or Home Depot), and got a sheet of lexan. I also bought some small brakets to hold it all together.
The way I did mine is measured for the bottom, back, and top then did the sides.
Once you get the back cut to the length and width you need ,turn the filter over so the part thats got the hose clamp is facing up, lay the lexan on top and mark for the hole for the intake tube, and (if you use the K&N RX-4750) mark the IAT location. Then basically just put it all togeter and go mount it.
Oh yeah the K&N is a much better choice for filter than the APC. Like Will said it will hold water.
Hope this helps,
Tim
