Looking at the kit, they have a heat shield that pushes the radiator "hot" air down away from the intake on the passenger side. I can attest the passenger side on my k&n gets extremely hot. (probably because of the raditor dumping heat off onto it). I'm about to buy one anyway and sell my k&n. I've always been an AFE fan.

I've got a set coming (but it will be about a week before it starts shipping). I'll do a formal write-up and take pictures once I get them. While I don't expect the HUGE gains, I do prefer them over K&N. I use to have a Jeep Grand Cherokee (V8) and noticed a difference in quality in filter and the intake itself. I've also seen a similar difference between a buddies Accord when he got an AFE filter to replace his AEM filter. I like the idea of a dry filter verses an oiled filter (I hate applying the oil, it gets everywhere and it's hard to apply evenly). I'm really intrigued over the heat shield that keeps the radiator hot air from getting to the passenger intake.

www.takedausa.com if you follow the links from the "application guide" and find our model it has a shopping cart that brings you to shoptron or something. Although it says Pre-Order right now. (Still waiting on mine).
