DIY : Heat-shield over Pod Filter with cold air feed

DISCLAIMER: The following is provided as a GUIDE ONLY, and neither myself nor Ozhonda take any responsibility for the outcomes of someone else doing the following. You follow these steps at your own risk!
AIM: Install a DIY Heat-shield (over Pod filter) with a cold air feed, and get PQ points while I’m at it!

REQUIRED: Screw driver, Socket wrench set, Aluminum sheet and Superr-Flex vent ducts (can get these from Bunnings), CF wrap vinyl (PEP’s auto)

What’s wrong with this set-up?

1. DEFECT because of the uncovered Pod filter.
2. The heat inside the engine bay gets sucked into your intake.

SOLUTION:
PART 1: HEAT-SHIELD
1. Remove old intake setup

2. Measure where you want to mount your Heat-shield.

3. Get your aluminum sheet, cut it to shape, then connect to each mounting points.

4. And for those who prefer to have a CF look…

(to be continued...)

Excellent.

How well does it seal though?

A couple more photo's of more detail - the foam etc would be good.

REPPED!

PART 2: COLD AIR FEED
1. Remove front bar.

2. Remove old resonator box.

3. Install the Superr-Flex (A/C) Vent ducts, cut to shape, and mount it in.

4. Create an opening for air to feed through your new setup

5. Time to install your front bar back in yo!

RESULTS:
When comparing the difference since removing my resonator, I find my throttle response has improved significantly. It feels that its breathing better, and running smoother, and VTEC sounds a lot more nicer!
