I am working on that actually, using an electric acutated valve that opens to cold air only when above a certain TPS level (so that it gets power only when you need it, i.e. pressing hard on the gas pedal). All other times it will be sucking nearly 200 degree air straight from in between the headers.

(My car has a map sensor, and like in saturn vehicles, warm air intakes do wonders for map equipped vehicles- unlike the ones with maf sensors... dont ask me why this is though as I have noooo idea)
