Had my Fujita CAI installed last week and that thing is well worth the $ unlike what I first thought. Question for all of you who has installed CAI in your S is have you ever noticed how hot the pipe gets on a warm day? I'm not talking just from the engine but the heat of the radiator blowing right at it. Any ideas on something to divert the direct heat a little? I've thought about cutting in half a clear piece of 4" pipe to put in front of the tube but it's harder to find than I thought plus I'm worried it might look a little too getto

. Maybe rig up the fan shroud? I'm pretty sure some of you have good ideas on this subject. TIA

I wrap all my intakes with this heat-insulative heater-duct stuff I found at a hardware store. I can't give you exact degrees, but to the touch I've noticed a very obvious difference in the intake pipe temp at the throttle-end (without the wrap it would be HOT...with the wrap the most warm it gets is just slightly warm to the touch).

Looks totally ghetto, but it works. I'll post a pic for you later (yes it looks like tinfoil but it ain't).
