think with drain holes it should be nearly eliminated. With cloth pipe, your basically putting a cloth pipe inside a metal pipe, and should it be unwrapped, it will heat up the air INSIDE the cloth pipe. so not really a point.
Believe me I thought about it already. I think having it therma-alumi coated should be a good enough heat barrier. If not, then wrapped. But not trying to make it look like some cheap gawdy bolt on peice though, ya know. Esp with investing time and money into it. I want to do this right.

then i can get the thrill of a wannabe turbo, haha.
sound [aggressive] does not bother me at all. in fact, i kind of encourage it.

if you do....pipe it down there, it wouldnt be as hot as the engine bay. and finish it up with a 3 inch or 3.5 inch piping SS piping!!! with a big enough cone filter.

thought about that. but considering i just did the update from foggy to clear lensed fog lights, thats kinda out of the question. just steering more towards the Y-pipe.
its definetly been considered. however, i dont want it to look like a track car cause its TOTALLY not, ya know

or...since u have a 4 cly. the...driver side of the engine bay is more free. pipe it over there. maybe its not as hot if you somehow find a used gruppeM cf surround!!!
*edit* sorry for the HIGH quality paint skills

rotglmao, advans, man, all i gotta say is you rawk! haha. classic suff right there people. but i do get what your sayin. but didnt you [could have been someone else] that tried to do the short cold air intake inside the engine bay, unshielded?
Also, because I havent really humored the idea, I will be getting new mesh for lower air dam, which as your right, open that area up more. Ill have to see what kind of space I'll have for a nice functional CAI if i choose to go that route. good call and kudos to the creativity.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but can someone direct me to an airbox removal DIY? I'm thinking about purchasing a Carbon Dynamic Airbox from a user in our forums and I just want to make sure that I can perform this installation.
