I made this heat shield a while ago, i used some sheet metal and traced out a template on a piece of cardboard. What you guys think, I painted it flat black and i still need to attach it to the evo ms heat shield and put some type of rubber edge on it so it won't rattle.

I only paited it once so it looks kinda chitty, flat or gloss black if i decide to keep it on?.

 

it seems it would perhaps trap more heat rather than keep it away, imo.

 

yea, ive thought about that too, but it also wont let it creep into the intake side as easily, opinions keep em coming.

 

trailbos i made the exact same thing for my evo intake....i used heat restisant spray stuff, it was black also. well it ended up rubbing on one of the gas lines causing a leak....... after thati left it off. i did test it at the track and did not run a better time.

 

did you remove the rear rain tray or whatever it is and the weather strip at the first firewall.

 

now that i look at ur pics mine is much better, i made the heat sheild go down, to connect to the evo heatshild so it was almost an air box.

 

i made it fit with the tray and strip in place.

 

yea i wanna do that but its not going to be easy since I dont have a k03 anymore or an inlet pipe half the size.

 

I took that out a long time ago, reasoning seems logicacooling link should work now
