I use bms dci and its been great. I only recommend a dci to someone with a flash or tune since at higher psi the greater air flow outweighs the heat soak dilemma. If someone is running stock stick with the stock airbox. Also I wouldn't use afe products if they were free, feel free to read up some previous posts regarding them.

heat shield or not, heat soak is inevitable with an open cone design...

I don't like the aFe heat shield design, it sits right up on the filter almost like its blocking half of the filter from even working. If that is the case then why even use a cone filter.
