hey paul. that black tubing that humps over the intake pipe is an intercooler pipe lol. and as far as any shielding or what not to keep engine heat away. im only dont the fabbing of the intake itself. most of the intakes for the genesis go for $300+ so far im only at $29 once i get some more free time(working 2 jobs and getting ready to move makes it tough) ill fab up some kind shielding for the filter.
and just to give some of you a quick idea. this is one of the cheaper priced short ram kits for the turbo coupes. i cant justify spending that money on something soo simple as a filter and 90 degree pipe. and mine flows better than a standard short ram because i fabbed up a pipe also going to the turbo.

but over all i think it turned out pretty damn good for an hours worth of work so far. ill be doing minor things to it to clean the look of the intake up.
