Aftermarket Air-filter for stock air-box 1.5l?

[Ghostinnc]

So I returned an Injen SRI and after further thought I decided the heat issues, warranty and nominal gains weren't worth to me unless you combine a tune and exhaust, not to mention in a couple of years Type R might be an option, Question is K&N and couple of off brands sell for the 2016 2.0 motor but no one sells an Aftermarket AF for the 1.5 to date, whats up with that!

I'm thinking of getting the injen short ram intake and you said heat issues? I know our engines get really hot but was your engine overheating?

No overheats. but the intake tube will get heatsoaked after pushing the car hard. I have the short ram, i'm not sure if the longer cold air has the same issue.

No overheat but these little motors do get hot one of the factors in my decision

Was wondering if it's worth it to get a turbo wrap on the intakes?

I wonder how beneficial that heat shield will be on the intake. Seems like it might restrict the airflow

It's made of silicone which supposedly disperses heat better than the Injen
