Honestly? Nice effort, but where exactly is it drawing cold air from?

The Steeda Short Ram for the Duratecs shields the filter intake from engine heat but draws the air from beside the driver's side headlight.

I mean, it looks ok, but I'm not sure what kind of "heat shield" benefit you'd get from a clear peice of plexiglass in that position. Unless I'm missing something.

When it's over that far, a heat shield isn't necessary from what I've seen / felt.

Either it's cool enough or the ambient's so damn hot you suffer and bog anyways.

Actually, you're not right up to the fender. Why not just move it over some more?

Shorty intakes are pointless. You want coild air, get a CAI.

But I can see why you would switch to this setup for winter.

If you saw the 8' of piping that the 2.3L has to breathe through you would disagree.

I've got the Steeda, for the 2HP (less) difference, I'll live with it in exchange for piece of mind.
