Where did you get the pipes from? I'm running the Apex'i power intake... which sits in the rad. fan shroud... ouch.... I'll be looking for a template as well and modding it for my application... I have a headlight cover inlet... I will be lining the plate w/ some sort of heatshielding material to deflect some of the heat... and may use a flex type tube for the ducting to the turbos... which would also be covered in a heat shielding material... Thanks for any help!!!

also, take a look at these pics, it was before i finished the sheilding, it may be what you are looking for because it makes a perfect sheild for teh apexi filter to sit over

Really nice work! I made my own heat shield & ducting from the nose for K&N's but yours looks professionally done with rivets and all...
You could actually sell your Cold Intake kits...just an Idea. I'd also like to down load your template.
Thanks!

DAMIAN:
That looks exactly like the one in the Japanesse Rx7 Magazine... (2001) but the one in the Magazine is a one piece...
And this template is specially made in conjunction wiv the Apexi intake... 
The template is in my magazine but i dont have a scanner...

So all will know:
I belong to the same local club as Damian, The Frozen rotaries for 11 month a year club. We have not seen a post from him since last year at road America. Great guy we even slept together and he won't answer my phone calls. he claims to be in diguise.
You all should also ask him at what speed to enter a reverse "S" curve especially when driving(?) on a high speed MN. Highway Patrol training course.
The man is good and a good driver and as you can see very talented and I enjoy calling him friend.
I left you a message this morning wake up and check your voice mail.

Ok guys, i need an estimate of how many want to buy the sheild before I decide to make a kit to sell. This is for teh sheild only (it is assumed you already have air filters, et).
Please specify if you would want the apexi version or the K&N version. ALSO, note that I made it with a stock intercooler in place, you may need to modify it for an aftermarket intercooler.
The estimated cost will not be greater than $60, not including shipping...and the apexi version will be cost a bit less (dosnt have the vertical divider).

that is a good question, that is why i opened it up on my final k&n version, i think i would modify the final apexi version a bit more so that it has more flow space and direction, but i need a car with an apexi intake to perfect the template on :-)

Damian,
Would you tell us what the K&N part numbers are for all the filters in your set up there, including the smaller airpump filters etc.?
I would certainly appreciate it
Oh and the template too~~
If not I'll make my own template

turborexxron: I think it's better than the M2 mainly because I don't think I'd have as many issues with aftermarket hood fitment, and ic fitment. The M2 box is a little bigger than it has to be. I may be completely off base on this one, but at the very least, I don't think the M2 box is any better than this heatshield.
