what u mean by hi flow intake?... you can make a custom box out of say cf.... which encloses the air filter or alternativley relocate the air filter, or even keep it in the stock airbox...

have you got a cold intake feed from your front bar, try that first it always helps. and make your own heat shiled why pay heaps for the brand name crap when you can make your own. or make your own box for the filter, with a cold air feed.
