are these really nesessary ? I have seen them and they seem to cover 1/3 or 1/2 of the filter ( wouldn't that seem to restrict air flow? ) and how much heat do they really shield. They seem to me to be just for looks.
Let's hear some opinions on this... -------------------- |

hopefully the koyo radiator I'm getting will reduce the underhood temperatures so that my intake will actually suck in colder air. though it's probably just wishful thinking...
