what would be the best way to keep the metal tube from gettin hot ??? what are the different options ??

 

I wouldnt be majorly concerned about heat soak, the air move through your itake so fast there is not enough time for it to warm up that much.
a few places sell some wraps that are like what surrounds heating/ac ducts

I would stick with the dry filter too, your Maf will thank you.

 

Very nicely said

 

True.......so now someone needs to buy my stock airbox

 

I have used oiled filters on my cars, you just have to be careful and not over oil them.
I also clean my Maf off with electrical contact cleaner on occasion just in case

 

what about a true flow air foam filter ?? and maybe trying to adapt it to work with the stock air box ??? im lookin to buy an intake tube to replace my stock one, i rather keep the stock airbox to keep air temps down.

 

do a search for "modifying stock airbox" many people prefer it over the aftermarket.
I believe s&b, and volant also have sealed boxes that will do the same.

the airraid i have has a rubber gasket that is supposed to seal against the hood, so it only draws air from the fender, and behind the headlights. I know it doesnt seal it up perfectly, but well enough

 

Thanks for postin up the pics it looks very nice! I think il be ordering one for my 06' here pretty soon!

 

Mine will be here about 2:00pm today, I am planning a trip to lowe's to get some rubber weatherstripping for the top of the shield but for for the $89.90 I paid shipped it's worth it. I'll post pics with the weatherstripping on it tomorrow.

 

I also have a K&n cone design I cleaned up that I will try to see if it's better wet or dry. I like things wet usually but as far as the filter dry could be better....
