OP, as much as I love the R2C intakes, the metal piping is just too much for this engine bay. I've had them for 4 years now and over 50K

OP, as much as I love the R2C intakes, the metal piping is just too much for this engine bay. I've had them for 4 years now and over 50K miles, and they heat soak the crap out of the engine. You may not encounter it too much on the track, but they will be hotter than alternatives like Z1 post-MAF tubes + stock intake boxes with aftermarket filters or the Z1 full CAI.
I wish there was a lot more data on IATs and engine bay temps in general when considered hood vents. I think I've decided Fujimura has the best hood/vent design for heat evacuation.
