I have done this to my V8 Au Fairmont, i attacked my airbox with a holesaw and then ran ag pipe from the airbox between the radiator and the headlight and down to the airdam thingy at the bottom of the bumper... Cant even see that it is there and it has seemed to have made a considerable difference to response, i have had it in the car for almost 6 months now and it has not melted... i used the ag pipe with holes in it because i figured if it had holes in it then it would dissipate the heat from the radiator before it got to the filter yet the holes in the pipe are small enough not to let too much air escape... I also put a pod filter in the airbox and added a tickford snorkel so that may have made a difference to the feeling of the car aswell, but i fitted all mods at the same time... I am actually considering adding another bit of pipe along side this one as i only used small diameter pipe so as to fit between the radiator and headlight...
