Very nice "Ghetto" intake Aaron. The heat shield shape reminds me of the top fuel power chamber. Wonder how it performs compared to something like the Gruppe M which has a full CF shield.

With regards to the shield itself, CF conducts heat slower than aluminium. So that's a plus for GruppeM. With regards to performance, the filter and pod mounting design to the intake arm has more effect than the shield design itself.

I'm very impressed! this should work just aswell as the gruppeM design and it should look good when it's painted too. Like you mentioned the only significant distance (assuming the heat shielding works practically the same) is the design of the pod, and the fact that the gruppeM is mounted directly to the end of the stock intake tubing wheras the apexi design has the extended alluminium.
I think you've come up with a close to ideal design
