I finally got around to reminding Ed to send me a couple new heat shields and I'm happy to report 3 days later I got them as promised. The rubber did seem a little softer, otherwise not a huge apparent difference with this set over the last. We'll see how long these last, I guess if no one else is having issues they should be ok.
I also tried the leaf blower for cleaning... that's the tool for sure...lol. One other thing I noticed was that my throttle bodies looked new.. no tarnish at all. They've been on for a year and TB's have never been cleaned.

Can anyone debate on the heatsoak vs the r2c and injen cai? I know injen might get slightly colder air but does the length of their tube and lack of heatshield cancel out the awesomeness of the r2c?
I'm looking for new intakes asap and can't decide filter quality vs looks/sounds... Anyone have experience with both?

im selling a used R2c intake I dont think there better than injen in terms of performance but i did feel a small power increase and better throtle response and they take 30 minutes to install they sound good also ..im thinking of getting the injens but they seem kinda low

R2c has far superior filters than any company in the business right now. Check out the parent company:

rAiN. Yeah, you definitely have the older heatshield and gasket. Keep trying to call R2c... Ask for Ed Sroka in sales. If anything, leave him a voicemail. He will take good care of you and make things right.

Yup... but you shouldn't have a problem with any of those systems mentioned unless the filters were actually submerged in water with the engine running.

Welcome! I actually have the Stillen Gen 3 on my 2010 sedan, and an R2c system in the trunk. I'm planning on getting both systems dyno'd in the next couple weeks. Just have to find the time. Doing this on my own dime too, and hope to make some if the $ back with whatever system I decide to sell. lol

Yes, exactly. Under the contact us on the R2C site you'll find the phone number, call it and ask for Ed, tell him your heat shields gasket seperated and split. He'll tell you they've redesigned them and send you a new set. I can't say I notice anything different about the new heat shields he sent... but time will tell.
