"Cool" heh.

Fair way out for the oil filter though. I got the same JetCo shielded air filter too :)

Yea, wanted the filter over the other side but no room for it with out moving some stuff about. It will eventually go to an oil cooler.

Looks good and it is available at my local S/cheap, will it curve more or did you just want a straight kind of look when fitted? I was thinking it might look ok with a rolled effect as well.

It can be shaped into just about anything you care to throw at it, look at the pic in the link:

MG Garage on ebay was the best way I found to buy it. They were good.

My extractors run fairly close to the firewall, all the heat issues I had were with wiring and ecu frying on the cabin side. A sheet of this rolled to fit between the pipes and the firewall finally fixed it.

I've had a chance to get the car nice and hot and it's surprising how well this works, I haven't done any real measurements but just using my hand the induction pipeing and under bonnet temps feel noticably cooler.
