Heat Shield for Pod Filters

[CivicCoupe]

I am wondering if anyone here knows or has found a good way to make heat shields? Want to know things like material used and best application of it..

Or if its worth it in the first place.. ;)

if you have a pod located in your engine bay, a heat shield wont do much at all....its still sucking in the hot air!

You shoud:

a) convert to a CAI

b) make a custom (air tight) airbox with a cold air feed from the front of the car

c) revert back to stock airbox setup with aftermarket filter


cheers.

Rowie: Im not sure if your in what city, but I got brand new heat-wrap its 3metre and will wrap through all of the headers. Im in Melbourne, if your in Melbourne I can give it to you if you want.

I've used heat wrap before and found that it dies after a while.

Civiccoupe: best to build a custom box to surround your pod, don't bother with just a shield.

how much does your friend charge for making the air boxes?

If you're constantly in traffic it will affect you (pod in engine bay)

But if you're cruising, you won't notice much difference between an unexposed pod and stock air box..
