sounds like a load of crap to me....the cover is plastic anyways...it would absorb the heat and maybe travel to the 2 tiny 10mm bolt, thats not going to make a diff....get the Hondata IMG if your worried about heat....after i installed it and a couple of races, i can pop my hood and put my hand directly on my rbc manifold and it would still be cool to the touch

The cover is just for cosmetics to make the engine bay look pretty. It's plastic, I don't see how its going to "trap" heat over the intake manifold. You aren't going to see ANY performance results from removing it. It's just a matter of personal preference, whichever you think looks better.

Re: Heat Stroke
For example, I am not running one on my car anylonger because I am running the RBC intake manifold, an AEM fuel rail and the feed line would interfere with the cover so I got rid of it, hell, it wouldn't even fit with the manifold that I am running. Look for yourself

Re: Heat Stroke
it's not necissary, honda put it there for looks and to keep idiots from touching the hot motor. It might hold some heat, but I doubt it's causing your intake mani temps to go up much. In theory he's right, but the plastic doesn't retain that much heat. Take it off if you like the look, leave it if you don't wanna mess with it.
