Yep, really no way of avoiding this. . I can make it better by wrapping the header and getting a shield for the intake manifold but without either of those I'd say this is good.

Already did this by temporarily sealing gaps with masking tape.

I kept the temporary drier duct in place.

Yeah, I'm gonna play with the air feed some more. I have an idea of directing more air to the box and without capping off the brake cooling side.
