I'd think the factory locations would be the best bet

In the lower grill if you can tube it from there with heat wrap on all tubes up to inlet. Stock is also working cover with heat wrap. Heat wrap the bottom of the air box.

Heat shield I used was DEI it seems to be the best. (Summit racing carries it) You can use 3M-spray glue to hold it to the bottom of the airbox. I also use it on my racecar to protect the plug wires from the headers and it works very well for that as well. I will cover my stock air inlets with DEI next. I saw this on a CL600 and it worked for that owner.

I have not run air from lower grill, but it looks like it will work but you have to run it longer then the stock placement.
