pod filter would be much harder to get cold air to - this get's cold air easily, much the same as the early 80's brock commodores did it! Is that where the inspiration come from for it?

Are you's sure? My pod is right at the front of the engine bay, near the grill. Plus makes a deep groaning noise now.

Getting heat rising from the exhaust?

But its not to close to he exhaust. I thought black conducted heat the most, so wouldnt that plastic plate just heat up and make the air cleaner hot?

A black surface is the most solar absorbant, but that means nothing under a bonnet where there is no direct sunlight. Radiant heat relies on the properties of the material, and fibreglass/plastic doesn't conduct heat very well.

Also who is to say that the intake panel isn't lined with insulation underneath? That's what I would do!

Ahh. Or easiest solution wrap the manifold in heat wrapping? Hmm i think i'll do that.

That would be easier to do on extractors, but i can't see how you would get the stock manifold wrapped up good enough.

Yeah i was thinking that just after i posted.

Psi_Wagon - What did you make it out of?, was it easy or hard to make?
