should i or shouldnt i

how's it dude's.......

i own a 25-t and whoever had it before me ripped out the cold air box so i was 1dering if any1 here has put a wall up between the motor and pod filter right to the bonnet to help block off the heat??

my idea was because it's all pretty much standard when i get a front mount intercooler i could rip out the old1 and in it's place put like a 3-4" pipe have it stick out the front and have it run up to where the pod is? so it's alway's sucking in cold air and maybe a mesh vent above it?

2ndly i'm getting a front bummper made up from autobody theropy (maybe them) to replace my old1 (destroyed in crash) and i'm after idea's i figger if i stick my pipe out the front i might as well get them to mould around it (or at less leave a gap) so it look's apart and i think venting is a big key as the rb's tend to crank out the heat, but i'd like your 4t's and pic's, drawing's anything your'd like to shear really. ta :)

It's done quite often here in New Zealand, the partition. Many have built their own cold air intake systems.
