Whoops. MX5's have a heat shield fitted as standard. Since the 4 2 1 manifold was fitted it's gone but is still 6 or 7 inches away from the manifold & on the 3rd to last pic you can see the cold air feed under the bunper on the nearside.

Worth putting some sheilding around it Amigo, as it will hurt performance :y

Seconded... Run it right around the back and down so it meets the cold air feed and over the top and down the front a bit... You'll still get the induction shout that you're looking for but will get nice cold air into the engine :y :y :y
