i have an injen intake and i was woundering if i really need the heat shield that came with it...the heat shield is covering half of the filter and restricting some air flow...if someone can let me know that would be great

a heat shield does just that. its SUPPOSED to block some of the hot air from the engine so you get a lower temperature intake charge.

so yes you do need it.

about restricting airflow, on a car thats not boosted its not enough to make any difference.

Not an intake ? but is the heat shield on the exaust manifold needed? I personally hate the way they look I like to be able to see the manifold, preferably headers or turbo, but will it harm anything to remove it?

Why do you think all the hot-rodders louvered their hoods in the 50's?

how exactly would you make an insulator for the intake tube?
