ok so i have heard alot of people talking about the how the maf adapter and the cone filter still "sucks" in hot air, personally i dont think it'll make much of a difference plus i live in alaska sooooo..... but anyways i decided to make a "heat shield kinda like how the K&N's are.
things you need
1 a version of the KKM (maf adapter and cone filter)
1 24" x 36" galvanized sheet metal (can get @ home depot in their ducting section) $8
1 Some rubber plubbing insulation self-adhesive (in plumbing section of home depot) $6
1 insulation sticky wrap w/ aluminum one one side $8
I used a peice of cardboard to make a pre-template, then cut the sheet metal to the size, made sure it'll fit well. make sure to cut the hole for the pipe which connects to the cone filter.
Put the sticky insulation on both sides of the heat shield, to help keep out/in the cold and hot air.
spray painted it to the color i wanted which in this case was black. put the rubber insulation around the edges to help keep air out.
and here are my results
since i already had the maf adapter and the cone filter, this only cost me like $25
