[all] K+N Cone Heat Shielding

[john.t.van.houten@xxxxxx]

I finally put a heat shield around my K+N cone filter and WOW--at least
according to my butt dyno (admittedly not calibrated recently).  Has anyone
quantified the difference (just curious)?  The whole thread about hot air
and  loss of power, etc. made perfect sense, but I didn't think it would
make that big of a difference.

To all of you who have an unshielded cone filter, get a heat shield!
Either send Milos $120 for a cool carbon fiber one or go to Home Depot,
spend $7 on aluminum flashing and make one yourself, 1 beer job (depending
how anal you are and how fast you drink).

Of course, I could be a raging maroon baboon, especially given the SC
threads...

PS-thanks to Bubba D. for the original idea/hints, etc.
