Just installed new heat shield for my SRI and a diversion panel.

the panel cost me about $25 and the heatshield was about $15.

Looks good!!! Would a metal heat shield really shield from heat though? I wonder if it gets hot and restricts airflow.

yes......

but even so, the entire CAI pipe gets hot while driving.

even after leaving the hood openf or a 1/2 hour after a run at the track, it's still warm to the touch.
