Nixon1 · 05-25-2003, 11:04 PM

I saw someone's car with one of these once, and decided I really want one, considering how INSANELY fast the car is until it warms up and gets VERY slow.... I'm going to do some custom diddly-crap to my intake arm first because it's SOAKING up heat from that damn upper radiator hose---my intake assembly is custom--- (Home Depot) thin aluminum.

But what I'd really like to get my hands on is a heat shield for the upper intake. I saw a car once with big sleeve-looking one....out of a fabric-type material. Do any of you know where I might find or who sells any upper intake heat shields?

Thanks!
