Well I've been saying I'm going to do this for some time now. Well I actually got the stuff to do it this week, and it looks like I'm goin to have to bail. The way my filter comes down and the rest of the stuff on that side of the engine, I can't make the shield the way I want, without it looking totally cheezy. One part would be bent one way one the other it would not have a good anchoring hold....rather than bangin my head for hours on end. I'll get my money back for the material, and either wait till I get a better intake that would be better to make the shield for or if I get a brain child idea.
Oh well, I tried...better luck next time I guess. Don't know if it'd be any easier for the the turbo legacies. Mine sticks more front then off to the side where the fenderwell air intake is.

Josh-my NA motor just loves the stock air box & K&N filtercharger with the water separator removed. Have you tried this combo ? It`s very inexpensive & you don`t have to worry about any disruption in the MAF. Let me know what you think. PS-on parts we`re buying: front & rear strut bars, new frt sway bar links, rotors & SS brake lines are on the way. I`ll post as to their effectiveness soon-ROD (No. Az.)

Custom Heat shield
Hey Rod, I already have the stock air box off, and have a cone style filter setup on there. I did this about 3-4 years ago, before there was anything out there, so I had to custom do the mounting plate, and a support arm. Everything is fine with it now, except during really hot summer days I notice a loss in HP because of the hot air, especially when idling. I wanted to make a heat shield to cut down on that hot air. I did remove the water separator in the fender well, I'd like to hook a tube up or something to it, to bring fresh air from the front. I did notice quite an increase in how quickly the revs climb especially from 4grand and up. It's ALOT quicker than with the stock box on.
I'll probably just leave it the way I have it now. If you wanna see how I have it now, check out my website www.personal.psu.edu/jcc189/subaru/subaru.html
