if you really want to, wrap it in heat wrap

Of course, there is no point in bothering to keep the pipe itself cold if its sucking hot air anyway.

yea your best bet as hrt said is build a box around it, closing it off from the engine bay, if done right, only cold air coming thru the front will get to the filter

its not cooking foil, whoever uses cooking foil needs to be slapped, lol.

Well you seem to want to get as much cold air as poss, so why not remove one of the lights :P it would make you look real cool, and all the 15yo's in their carbied civs would give you da mad respectz yo :twisted:

thats all very well until you have an accident and the lack of front bumper/support forces the engine into your face.

Ah...

I think he is referring to the location of the filter, not the fact he doesnt have a bumper attached to the car (or windscreen).
