I was bored today, and was browsing DSMtuners.com, and noticed a guy made an air box out of sheet metal to help keep heat down. So, I took my existing intake heat shield and added a top.
Existing heat shield...

Top, added to basically create a box, with a piano hinge. Also threw some black paint on over the rivets.

Now to help keep down intake temps more, thoughts on those intake heat sleeves? Basically a heat shield sock you slide over your intake tube???
Anyways, that was how I kept myself busy today, also removed the cat and installed my test pipe.
