Better and cheaper is to use aircraft tubing... here are my front feeds
You can get the Aeroduct tubing from Aircraft Spruce. I have these dual feeds running to my TTDA. Cold air always plus at speed you get the added effect of positive pressure.

That's a cool lil set up there! I wasn't going to go that far down. Just strait from the MAF over into the fender. The air filter doesn't have to go all the way into the fender. Just move it over. I try to do things with out taking body panels off!!

just remove the shield and call it a day. Not going to see any gains running shields or tubing, just wasting money. Aslong as your intake is up to the fender (where the stock box is) you are fine. it will get plenty of flow and the temp defference between there and the fender wont change any performance wise

this device from aem breaks the siphon when your cai starts to pull water. http://www.aempower.com/ViewCategory.aspx?CategoryID=20
There was a video at one time with an NSX equipped with one of these running at full throttle and the intake was submerged in a tank of water.

Q: Can I use an Air Bypass Valve on a forced induction engine?
A: Do NOT use an Air Bypass Valve on engines equipped with forced induction (turbo or superchargers). The increased flow demands created by the forced induction could damage the valve and lead to engine damage.
