I mean you are a track guy after all and your car was already prone to MAF issues if I remember right? At the track you don't want to increase your intake temps that's for sure. There are other HP mods you could do that'd serve ya' better than _any_ intake I think. The problem with risking a blown MAF at the track is that ABS in particular goes out and you're screwed...

scrub your mafs! filthy little buggers.
I agree, seems like the way this particular box is designed driving at speed the mod maybe OK but stop and go heat build up will most likely increase intake temps and eventually rob power.
I wonder why noone has designed a simple plastic fan shroud mounted to the under side of the engine lid and an simple air box to replace the rear half of the factory air box that mates up the redisigned shroud. I think who ever designs something like this will have a winner. Seems like it would be simple and effective design. All that would be needed is to change out half the stock air box and newly designed shroud. Air filter would be optional. And no MAF issues!

Has anyone ever thought of designing a air intake that breathes from the front of the car well away from the engine and wrap the tube and then the rear air box where the filter is in a aerospace insulation material?
