Finished the heat shield for my custom air intake. Took about a few sheets of aluminum, mostly 1/8" rivets and a few 3/32" rivets for the corners or thicker sections, and a roll of weatherstripping. Mostly it took TIME to cut to the right size.
I need to wipe it down or polish it, get my grubby prints off of the shield and the tube. The silicon coupler for the tube to MAF junction fits tight up against the box, so it sort of seals that area as well. Of course there are some other cutouts for a plug of some sort and my ram air, but for the most part it seals out the warm engine air, and still sounds awesome to boot.
