A closer view of the aluminum sheet and one of the 3 bolts that holds it in place. This cover forces the warm air to the intake tube extension. The original manifold shroud was removed and the aluminum sheet was bolted in place.
This also serves to reflect radiant heat back to the manifold raising the temperature for the catalytic converter and keeping the A/C condenser a bit more cooler.
