Agreed. Some thin sheet from lowe's or home depot would be good for that

I dont see the issue with cardboard and heat tape. It might not hold up as well but it will work to keep hot engine air away from it.

Although your name is Mud Digger which makes me think you see mud and water alot and this probably isnt the best setup to keep water out of your intake. True CAI in the cowl?

Hey I like the design of the box.

If it where me I would template it and make an aluminum version out of sheet then dynomat the inside to insulate against engine heat. Plus brushed finished and polished aluminum....mmMMmmm
