Default Yes, but you can buy an equally nice filter for 50bux

and that heatshield can be made pretty easily. However that is not the best heatshield design, and is way too overpriced. This link about proper heatshielding and insulation might help you build a better intake system for much less.<ul><li><a href="http://www.heatshieldproducts.us/education.htm">http://www.heatshieldproducts.us/education.htm</a</li></ul>
