What you would need to do is build a box that isolates the filter from the engine compartment as completely as possible. For instance, most people build a box right in front of the left headlight, and tall enough that it seals it when you close your hood (not pressed into the hood, but a small enough gap to negate compartmental heat).

I'll see if I can find a pic for ya.

Here'* a picture of one that is properly sealed off from the ambient temperature of the engine bay. Thanks, TaylorD:



Now, this specific CAI won't work in your car, as it'* designed for the '00+ models. I tried to find a pic of the one Will had on his '93, which will match your model, but I couldn't find it.

But the idea is the same. This is how to properly "heat guard" it. Many go with the FWI (fender well intake) where your intake tupe goes into the fender well.

But you get the idea now, right?

found them

Totally. That pipe on that website is aluminum, but it doesn't look like that'* what you have. There are no connections on the aluminum intake pipes. :?

It looks like you have THIS:

And according to them it stays cool: :?

OMG, what a gimick...

And thanks, sqela!! There'* the '93 shield you want.

Thanks for the pics.

These definitely give me the right idea!
As for the pipe, it is a Spectre 8219, so I'm not sure if they re-designed it?

Should I still use it??
Adam

its either re-designed... or packaged wrong...

IMO.. stay away.. far away

Yes, this pipe certainly differs from the picture.
I will call Spectre tomorrow and see what I can find out.

I'll keep you posted!

Adam

I don't think it was redesigned, as on Spectre'* own website the 8219 is indeed an aluminum pipe, the same one pictured in the website link you posted. That definitely is odd. Seems to be their mistake.

Hi Folks,
I called Spectre today, and it seems as though some of their inventory was indeed shipped out, mis-labeled. They are shipping out the correct pipe within a day or two, and I can return the incorrect one on their dime.

A big thanks to you guys for pointing out their error to me. I wouldn't have known better if it wasn't for you, and could have wound up in a potential mess!

Thanks again, and I'll be sure to post some photos of the finished product.

Cheers,
Adam
