there really is no point changing into a crv tube. it may be wider, but the engine will suck in as much air as the throttle body opening allows. people always think that bigger is better. but if there is a restriction the bigger part is just a waste of money. as for the ractive heat shield. what does it do? think about it. it cases the cone, allowing for heat to absorb on the cone, while it may not be that much, it certainly is more than none. the engine bay is a heated environment, meaning most places in the bay will be roughly the same temp, there is still an opening for air to get in, so warm air will go through the opening from the engine bay. for the OP, that is a pretty good idea. the k&n intake i see utilizes the bottom half of the intake box. that wont do anything. find where the stock intake box goes and it goes into the fender. If there is no suction from the tube, then the bottom half of the stock airbox is useless. the intake will still be sucking in from the same place, the engine bay and there is no flow from the fender to the engine bay from the original stock air box.
