I don't know about availability of aftermarket heatshields, but for more info on intake temps you can look at this thread:
Takeda intakes and Scangauge info
Performance wise I can't really comment. I didn't notice a difference and I don't have dyno results. However, people have reported some varying dyno results on this forum, ranging from a lost of 2 hp to a gain of about 9hp. Concerning throttle response I can't say I noticed a difference, stock vs. Takeda. Sound wise there is a big difference, the Takeda intakes sound great! I do miss that sound.
