Well are you talking about a cold air kit that goes into the fender well? or the short ram intake with a custom cold air box built around it?
I havent personally heard of any issue from the intake kits themselves, if anything most problems usually spawn from leaks or install errors.

get a decent cone filter and AFM adapter. slap it together and throw a breather filter on the air pump. done.
stock intake doesnt flow quiete as well as a solid pipe i suppose, but it has all the proper air lines on it and rubber insulates heat much better then alluminum. alluminum heat soaks pretty easily.
what i did for a cold air shield is i cut up an old styrofoam cooler into "custom sized pieces" and covered them with heat resitant wrap. i work in a pharmacy and we get shipments of insulin etc in styrofoam coolors and heat wrap. if its good enough for medical uses im sure it lowers the intake tempurature a few degrees. you can tell a difference when you pop the hood after driving for a while and compare the intake box to the rest of the engine.
take some 2"? flex pipe and run it through the washer fluid hole if you removed it.
