The most effective heatshield would be a heat box from Cold Air Inductions or ADM and those intakes are $500.
Good luck selling it. But when I did my factory air box experiment there was a big difference between cutting a big mouth opening without the Lexan glass heat shield and with it installed, a big difference. So sucking in hot air even in 60 degree temps really kills performance.

Never seen this intake before looks very clean under the hood...1 question though...what's holding the actual filter up???...does is rest on the fender or something else?...I guess what I'm getting at is what's preventing the intake tube from resting on the upper radiator hose???....either way looks cool under there with color matching

These do actually work, obviously a heat shield is a plus but is not needed. The tubing does assist in dissipating the heat. There have been a few post dynos if you search.

There obviously more expensive better options, but for the budget conscious looking for a good bang for the buck, this will do.
