this is copied from an online vehicle parts manual, its not my DIY, although Ill try and adds pics of my AIR RAM install when I do it.

from what Ive searched, you will need some new vaccum hoses, cuz the stock ones are too short. Other than that, if you want you can buy a phenolic spacer for the manifold to prevent heat transfer, but in all seriousness, "underhood" heat transfer will heat that manifold up just as much (if its not ceramic coated), so do what you wish. Enjoy and good luck !! but who needs luck when you got skill !!

No, it won't, it's been proven. Check the post on Hondata.com's heatsheild gasket. Intake temps up to 70 to 100 degrees lower.

Ceramic coating will help even more.

I'm sure he just brings up Hondata because it's an established, well known and reputable company for everyone to reference.

No no, I just didn't look hard thru OUtlaws site. I'll go check it out.

EDIT

I just went and checked out their info. MUCH better prepared and informative than Hondata.com

This is off topic, so I'll post stuff about it tomorrow.
