Show off your engine bay

Lets see what different color dynamics and prototype intake people have created..

Aww man, I wish I would've seen this last night and took some pictures. I reworked my intake again last night for like the 400th time and turned it into a true CAI. I also have a painted cover. Pictures forthcoming this evening.

Here are some up to date pics of mine. I've built an intake from scratch using 4 and 3.5" aluminum piping from Silicone Intakes.

I admire the creativity but that looks like it's just sucking hot air right off the engine.
You should enclose it to create a heat shield.

I had a heat shield on one of my earlier iterations. The diameter pipe I used was too small and I ended up scrapping it.

It was also made out of a black garbage can and I felt it detracted from the vehicle's look. Unfortunately the Genesis's layout is too cramped for a CAI that has a proper diameter.

I agree and think that being that there is very little room to work with is a big factor in why no brand name kits (k&N or Spectre) have made more of an effort to create something..im having a sheet metal shop installing/welding on a bung to a tube i got from pepboys for my intake, connecting the vacuum hose this week..im going to see if they can fabricate a shield too..ill post some pics when its all done.
