I’ve decided to buy a Ramair cone filter. Been looking at this for a while. I know some say the standard box is a decent design and works well. Honestly, I love the noise of an induction kit. So I’m tinkering with some aluminium I had lying around to try and make a heat shield to hopefully keep the hot stuff away from the filter. Has anyone else done this? If so, does it help? Below is my first attempt.

I played around with the idea of doing this - would be interested if you updated this thread with your progress!
As smartbear said, OEM box is very good so I ended up just keeping it. I tried an open pod filter and it hardly made any difference in sound but it would have been lacking any sides to reverb off - which is why intakes that are enclosed with an open end sound "better" (KN apollo i had in my old Astra 2.2 sounded EPIC).
