I installed a K&N filter in my Cooper. I am aware of the adverse effects that hot air can bring to the car's performance. I am trying to design and build a heatshield that a) blocks hot air and b) has an opening for a tube that will come directly from the original cold air intake next to the radiator.

Has anyone tried this before or does anyone have a design sheet that can be used for this shield. I am planning on using precision cut aluminum.

These are pics of the filter as now fitted

Cheers!!

Thats the "kit"? It looks like a standard motorcycle style filter! Make me a cardboard template and a sheet metal place can bend you a shield. I'll see what I can come up with at work.
