I mean, the stock exhaust manifold is RIGHT there, a mere foot or so away so its going to create a lot of warm air that needs to be sealed off. If you notice all the intakes that have proven themselves on the dyno, roto fab, cai, etc all have a heat shield.
In reality the stock air box isnt that bad, its really just the filter that restricts. The tubing is 3 inch. |
