eh im not sold.
Too many variables in that review. Seems they give a false sense of hope and big power gains to an otherwise stock/mild bolt on car.

Ive tested with my aeroforce and while temps slowly rise while at rest as they would with or without this heatshield, my IAT's once moving are always within +/- 2 degrees of ambient.

I usually use gold reflect tape to keep heat off things. Im in the process of doing my intake heat shield.

It looks to be the same material heatshield is using just uncut. I don't want to spend money on a dyno but I will be using an infrared thermometer to measure the intake temp before and after the wrap and will post up the info regardless of results. Should be shipping out Monday so hopefully next week I can get it done.
I'm interested to see your results. Keep us updated.

Looks like the kit is available and should be shipping soon.

Sorry the link is to BBR, but I just copied the link provided on SVTP.

Attempted to install today by removing my airaid box first to wrap. Found out quickly that the hp shield will not stick for shit to plastic. I ended up giving up and reinstalled without the shield. Maybe the precut piece has some kind of special adhesive that will stick to the plastic.

We just learned from Steve at BBR that the precut pieces come with special adhesive tape to keep it from doing exactly what happened to you.
