    Yes...but it should be shielded from the engine for best results...
    and also feed cool air from bumper or original OEM air pickup area behind the grill...

    one of the biggest resrictions is the cast piece on the intake side of the SC....if you can replace that as well with a free'er flow type+ this intake + heat shield and cool air feed...you should achieve some gains....

    the front gaurd area is a good idea...no need for the heat shield or piping to feed the filter cool air....
    i would have done the same if my bypass an IC piping didnt take priority in the front guard...
    look forward to see'n how yours turns out...and hopfully a dyno as well???

    yes if the filter is mounted in the engine bay it will need shielding form the heat....also for info on the bypass(second pipe on SC pressure side) check this in-depth thread on slammedC's intake mod...Here
    its alittle long but the info is there....

    he may need to have one made or make one himself,basicly any means of seperating the hot air from the intake ie alloy sheet or even better,a plastic material because of its high resistance to heat transfer

    ...currently my intake has no shield,but it is feed cool air from the front via a hole iv cut,so far i have had no idle problems,but then again i havent been stuck in 30 degree temps in traffic yet either

    ...also i feel since my bypass is now located in the front bumper area,it does not draw hot air in from the engine bay at idle...as it would if you attach the filter given in this kit to the OEM position of the bypass.....

    ....it is not manditory to put a heat shield on this intake,but it is best practice to do so...
    hope this helps alittle...
