Ouch..... mopeytitans been running with them for a while. Not sure hes had any problems but its definatly something to keep an eye out for. Maybe some heat wrap used as a barrier between the carbon and tip will help.. thanks for the heads up all the same

weve put openings in the clam above the arch. hoping this will get enough cold air to the filter from the turbo side vent. if this doesnt work we could always add another naca duct from the passenger side vent to improve it.
