I've taken some temperature readings using a remote thermometer and the air temp at the intake does rise while sitting in traffic, but once you hit about 40 mph the air temp starts to drop back down. The heat shield definitely helps. I think that the sound is great, much deeper than with stock.
For me, living in Florida, heat soak is a problem in the summer but with high temps and humidity, I don't know that a CAI would fix heat soak. It may also help that my S2000 is GPW.

This is a good reference on what sorta improvements to expect. BTW, if anyone wants one but doesn't wanna pay full price, drop me a PM (Comes with a new filter as well). I have one for sale as I'm now using the J's Racing tsuchinko.

Yes, that is the K&N aircharger intake kit. Though not a common choice. If you do a search, you'd find some good results on it. Basically, it adds approximately 10 bhp at the wheels as tested by a few individual owners on dyno.
If someone says they got 10rwhp from that intake or any other for that matter, they should post up the before and after dynos (need to be done same day, same machine, to be even close to valid).
The most your going to see from an intake is 4-5hp (AEM v2) b/c (1) its a true CAI, which the K&N is not (2) pipe length tuned for better harmonics (3) they added the resonance chamber (bulge in the middle, like the J's and Comptech).

Check out the link is SSS01's post; looks like the K&N kit gained 4.6 ponies and a decent amount of torque. From the looks of it, the hood should seal the upper portion of the K&N airbox when it is closed. I'd have to imagine it is pretty similar to the Comptech kit minus the resonator, they both seem to get air from the same place. Anyone know why Comptech chose to use foam filters rather than cotton? From my experience, cotton has better flow patterns and is more effective at filtering dirt.

Sorry, there is no way an intake alone is going to give you 10rwhp. The design of the K&N is basically the same as the Weapon R i.e. not that good. Its open, so it sucks all the hot air from the engine bay and has no resonance chamber like the Comptech.

I know it looks open, but the hood closes that off when it is closed.
