C&L Racer CAI 05-09

[Thekid760]

C&L Racer CAI without the heat shield.

I bought it used from peetiewonder and haven't even bolted it on yet. I upgraded to a JLT series 3 so I'm selling this exactly as I bought it. It's used and could use a filter cleaning, and has one small wear/rub on the MAF, but is in overall great condition.

$100 shipped. 49 states only. I work an odd schedule, so please give me 2-3 business days to ship.

Bump, Price change.

Would there be any gains with this? And is not having the heat sheild a big deal?

 

[Thekid760]

Anytime you can reduce or eliminate heat in intake will usually net some gains. How much is debatable.

The other heat shields are just that, a shield. They don't cover entire filter like they should for optimum heat elimination.

I personally don't think it's that big of a deal. But Id be considered biased, so take it for what it's worth.

The heat shield does almost absolutely nothing.

I've always wondered how much it does. It's all packed under same hot hood. I just figured though when it does take in air it's minimizing the hotter air from motor and more from outside but that would be an interesting dyno comparison.

 

[Thekid760]

Heat is transferred by 3 means: Radiation, Conduction, & Convection.

The shield will only block the radiant heat. It is not sealed enough to block the convection which IMHO is the biggest one to be concerned about with air intakes. And the plastic tube will help minimize the conducted heat.
