Enclosed will always be better as the engine is always producing heat. But your less likely to experience any major heatsoak this time of year.

Mine suffers from heatsoak in the summer when fitted with an open cone, probably due to the SMIC not bein able to cool the hot air thats drawn in by the open filter. If your taking in hot air from the engine bay you'll be relying more on your IC to cool the air, and if its not up to the job you'll get heatsoak.
PhilW from what ive read you know what your talking about so il go with you on this one mate and take off the heat shield
Yeh was thinking the same thing after beaker was saying about the cooler. Im off to take the heat shield off as we speak lol
I very much doubt a couple of degrees more goin down your TIP will cause heatsoak as your turbo runs at silly temps, which then relies on your cooler to drop the charge temps.
Your IAT is on your manifold, which is after your turbo and after your IC so a couple more degrees goin down the TIP wont effect a thing.
Now running a side mount or crap IC will effect more on your heatsoak.
Ambient temps are up in summer anyway so your engine will run hotter as a result.
Myki, get a sound clip and host it for us to hear
Was already going to lol
Will take a drive somewhere quiet tomorrow night to get a good sound clip of it.
Took the heat shield off an i can actually hear the induction kit now and boy does it suck! You can hear the suck almost as much as the dump lol

clip plz! see im trying to figure out what is the best combo in terms of sound and performance, coz ive heard for performance its best to keep the standard airbox and smooth it out with a green panel filter. so i guess if you have that then you are gonna need a deeper and louder sounding dump value?? (new to all this and trying to learn as much as poss. lol)
Hey,
I'm confused...
Which heatshield are you talking about now, because I would like to try that...
thanx

The heat shield on the green dynatwist filters but you have an open cone filter already so basically have the same thing mate
