Anyone has one of those heat shields? What is best deal out there? Any feedback?

I dunno if that would work, I'm a bit skeptical. I've seen similar products around. Especially running something like an AEM/Injen, the velocity of the air inside is something to consider with the surrounding engine environment. Whether it would be beneficial to a high degree is what I would say.
EricL, can you chime in?
EDIT: I noticed your last post on the other thread. Hey, maybe it MAY work.

ive done some searches on the subject and i dont know an answer but i will share some of what ive found
Fact: For every 3.3 °C (5° F) rise in intake temperature, air density drops 1%. The hotter the air, the less fuel the computer injects to compensate for reduced oxygen. HondaLogger datalogging software has enabled us to measure intake air temperature under varied driving conditions.
Around town, testing has shown an average drop of around 10 degrees C which is good for around 3 percent power increase. Remember though that 3 percent power increase is difficult to feel. You'd feel a greater change in performance getting rid of that passenger. In certain conditions a 30° C drop has been measured.

Some will claim that heat from the engine compartment will be transferred through the pipe of the intake system and into the air passing through the pipe, but this is not true. Testing by Sport Compact Car showed negligible change in intake temperature between where it enters the filter and when it passes through the throttlebody. Their conclusion was that the air is passing through the pipe at a high enough speed that it does not have time to pick up any heat from the pipe itself. Further evidence of this is the fact that the Ice Man brand intake system, made of heat insulating PVC plastic, tested at 9 HP while the AEM brand intake system, made of heat conducting aluminum, tested at 12.9 HP. The conclusion is clear that the design of the intake system is more important than what type of pipe is used to make the intake system.

And heres a link to a thread i started a while ago http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...ght=insulation
all i have to say is i got one and i think it helps some, i live in southern Florida and its hot so i am trying anything i can to make up for the heat

EricL,
Just by looking at the following data from 12 mins trip to work. Temp in the morning was around 63F.
Anyway to improve the intake system by keep it cooler? Do you think the thermal gasket barrier or CAI sleeve above work?
here is the data:
