The bit closest to the exhaust manifold will soon be replaced by an aluminum tube extension. The PVC at the very end gets a bit squishy after a few miles of driving. I moved the IAT sensor to the new intake tube, and blocked off the original air intake opening in the airbox. This is the quick & dirty version. A better effect could be gained by removing the original airbox and tube to the throttle body, and replacing it with a short ram and cone filter near the manifold. This version only cost me a couple of bucks and a half hour of time though. Too early to post results, but the drivability does not seem to be affected.
Thats not going to do a whole lot, enclose the exhaust manifold and run the pipe into that, this way the comming through the radiator isn't killing your higher temps..
