Cold Air Intake hogwash

[LSJKU]

I run a Corsa Air Intake (with Donaldson Powercore Dry Filter for 99.99% filtration efficiency), Corsa Sport Axle-Back Exhaust, and Brad's BMP Calibrations Tune. I put everything on at once so can't say how the components perform separately but as a package they ROCK!

I recommend Brad's tune and the Corsa axle-back exhaust without reservation. However I have reservations about the Corsa intake. See pics. Unlike the stock airbox, the Corsa leaves a one inch gap between itself and the fender wall, and the air intake openings are down in the engine compartment where they can potentially take in hotter air and more dirt & water.

Do you think I should return the Corsa intake to stock, or put insulation between the intake and the engine compartment?

I'm leaving my stock air intake and wrapping like WillysMeow suggests. I removed the stock exhaust and replaced with an MBRP straight-thru pipe. Also waiting on my unlocked ECU from HPTuners so I can flash Brad's tune. I'll let you know how it all works out, but I have high expectations for the tune based on what everyone else has said.

DEI makes the insulated tape and it can be bought at most autoparts stores.
