really? it should come with those black baffle walls (heat sheilds) that go around the cone to separate the intake from the engine bay.. otherwise your intake is sucking hot air... while losing power.

ok, my bad...yes, it has those...the only bad part, appearance-wise, with the kit, was having to wrap the rubber cushioning around the shields...very uneven looking bulges and rather hard to do, alone...
