I made an air intake this weekend using the info on the tech section. I think it was by CKTA. I also fabricated a heat shield out of galvanized sheet metal I picked up at Home Depot. Can tell an increase in throttle response but haven't been able to check gas mileage yet but will at the next refill. The next thing I'll do is eliminate the slinky with some hard pipe. Here are some pics of the before and after.
