Here'* a picture of one that is properly sealed off from the ambient temperature of the engine bay. Thanks, TaylorD:
Now, this specific CAI won't work in your car, as it'* designed for the '00+ models. I tried to find a pic of the one Will had on his '93, which will match your model, but I couldn't find it.
But the idea is the same. This is how to properly "heat guard" it. Many go with the FWI (fender well intake) where your intake tupe goes into the fender well.
But you get the idea now, right?

It looks like you have THIS:

And according to them it stays cool: :?
PowerAdder™ Modular Cold Air Intake features an engineered co-polymer in combination with a chromium plating that both insulates and reflects heat unlike steel, aluminum and titanium. The PowerAdder™ components stay cooler and deliver more cold air power to your engine.

Thanks for the pics.
These definitely give me the right idea!
As for the pipe, it is a Spectre 8219, so I'm not sure if they re-designed it?
Should I still use it??

Yes, this pipe certainly differs from the picture.
I will call Spectre tomorrow and see what I can find out.
I'll keep you posted!

I don't think it was redesigned, as on Spectre'* own website the 8219 is indeed an aluminum pipe, the same one pictured in the website link you posted. That definitely is odd. Seems to be their mistake.

Hi Folks,
I called Spectre today, and it seems as though some of their inventory was indeed shipped out, mis-labeled. They are shipping out the correct pipe within a day or two, and I can return the incorrect one on their dime.
A big thanks to you guys for pointing out their error to me. I wouldn't have known better if it wasn't for you, and could have wound up in a potential mess!
Thanks again, and I'll be sure to post some photos of the finished product.
Cheers,
Adam
