I`m sorry Dave, I `m going to have to think of something I get a few cerb owners asking, I`ll have to think of something.clive f said:
the weight gain is just 1.1kg over the standard top half airbox, the rigidity is a bonus, with an extra catch fitted on the front face the bottom half pulls up nicely for a good fit.
Does this mean you need to retain the bottom section? Looks like I need to speak to k&c. Or ACT. 
yes you retain the bottom section, the new fits straight on top, same as the act carbon ones.
heat wise yes with ambient heat it gets warm, when mapping my car on Joolz dyno it was warm to the touch, not hot, bearing in mind on the dyno you cannot simulate the air coming into the front of the car that you get when driving on the road, after a realy good run I`ve stopped and lifted the service bonnet and put my hand on the airbox and its fine, the air running into it keeps it cool. remember its not actually touching the engine, its sat on top of the airfilter and plastic bottom half of the airbox, the inlet tracts are connected to the throttle bodies by short silicon hoses with clips on, you can also reduce the temperature in the throttle bodies by using TVR Powers insulation gaskets between the t/bs and the head, in traffic it will warm up, the same as everything else in the engine bay, get it moving and its fine.
