UPDATE!!!HVI Custom made Heat Shield...

Sneeze · 04-11-2008, 05:17 PM

I decided to go with ABS plastic insted of aluminum since it's easier to cut...

Now I need some Air scoops!!!

Papa13 · 04-11-2008, 05:33 PM

Nice, looks good!

nj335i · 04-11-2008, 05:36 PM

you should add some rubber to seal the heat shield against the hood!

cn555ic · 04-11-2008, 05:37 PM

You should go to BMW and order some of those rubber moldings in the front of the car...Looks like it will finish the look and make a tight seal...I am referring to the rubber molding near the kidney grills...It has an edge where the moldings would fit perfect!!! Just a suggestion

AJerman · 04-11-2008, 05:39 PM

That does look good. Make me one.

I had a K&N Kit a few years ago for a Durango that did that. Had a heat shield with a rubber seal against the hood. No clue how it well it worked but it looked good at least (And did make a damn nice sound).

...Thanks for the suggestion...

That looks damn good. You plan on being another forum member selling a product? This is something I would definitely want.

Gen_E92 · 04-11-2008, 08:28 PM

nicely done! how did you measure the height so that it sits flush with the hood when the hood is closed?

Looks much better, but I think moldings like the BMW ones near the kidneys would be 10X better for sure...It will long like the ones that AEM sells or even a intake I saw on Ford Mustang Cobra...it had a thick piece of molding at the top and gave it a almost perfect seal!!! Try it...I think that one strip will from the top of the engine bay near the kidneys will cover your heat shield with a little left that you would need to cut off!!!

Craig@SupremePower · 04-11-2008, 09:11 PM

Nice DIY....looks like an old school ECIS intake I had on my E46 in the early years!!
