[QUOTE="Veloc, post: 1063503956, member: 92511"] If they say open pod means no CAI. If CAI, they will mention CAI. I know which one you mean bro. Those they are using a heat shield. I have some doubts about the heat shield as they do not totally isolate the hot air away. They just shield it which there are still some spaces, gaps where the hot air can still leak into the open pod. And imagine you car travelling at speeds. There is bound to be extra turbulence in the engine bay. Therefore I expect the hot air will be blown into the open pod anyway. But the CAI I show you is different. The hot air is totally isolated out of the CAI funnel/cone. The only inlet is through the CAI hose in front which you direct it to the bumper opening. However, there are weakness of this system too. Since the only inlet is in front, this system is not suitable for very high powered engines since they cannot suck in huge amount of air fast enough. KNN website specifies the max power engine that can utilise this system (250 hp for NA and 350 hp for turbo). Beyond that, you have to use the former CAI. The one with the normal, less restrictive heat shield. And for the normal (none cone type) heat shield, I would recommend to get is directly from manufacturers like KNN as they have researched and they produce shields with maximum heat shielding and maximum cold air redirection to the open pod. If make youself can. There are videos that teach in youtube. But I doubt one can accurately get the optimum measurement/shape of the shield to shield off heat. [/QUOTE]
