What ever happened with S&B redesigning the OBS intake?
We should focus on the Morgan Wildman dyno day then we can pursue this. I have a tymar setup right now but would like a true CAI
The problem with heat shields and routing air through intake boxes is that whenever you direct air flow, you increase restriction. Low restriction is the goal, so using a filter that has the ability to flow large masses of air and then enclosing it in a box yields very poor results. Heat shields do literally nothing. Air flow under the hood is dynamic and not static. It is moving all the time. Hot air will move right around a heat shield at the same temperature and be ingested and the only thing you have caused is turbulence.

Thomas,
Thanks for the email. I did eventually end up finding a truck to see the issues you guys were having. We also scanned it for re-design. We are behind in a lot of late model applications right now and haven't gotten around to the re-design. We still have all the photos and documentation you did for us on file. I don't see us getting to it until after the first of the year. I apologize for the extremely long delay in this project and appreciate your patience.
Sincerely,
Craig
