Happy modding bud
I think what he has is a short ram. From the pictures it appears that it is just a filter that attaches to the mount the stock air box was at. The kit just includes this odd looking scoop that isn't really useful and looks awful but will not hydrolock the car. Once again there is no way to get enough water to come out that tube with enough force to hydrolock the car, unless you're trying of course.

That DIY for the heatshield is great OP, I would get started on that as soon as you get the intake on. Thinking about it though if there were some way to get that scoop behind the grills it might be a worthwhile project. I havn't had my ti for a while but if there is a way it definitely wouldn't hurt having it there.
