Which intake fits my requirements?

Had the exact same question. Installed a Perrin oil cooler (seems to have the same sandwich plate as the JRSC cooler), but the fittings touch the stock intake box.

Here are the intakes I've seen that clear out space in front of the oil filter, but might be prone to heat soak.

Tuning those intakes looks like a nightmare due to MAF placement. AMR one might not be too bad if it has an air straightener.

Not to mention sucking all that hot beautiful air off the back of the radiator.

The HKS comes with a heat shield, that would be my only pick of the bunch. A company like HKS wouldn't release something like that if it really didn't work.

Companies release what they think will sell. Sorry.

Find me some data on the HKS intake like some of the vendors like Grimspeed have produced, and then we can chat about it.

Otherwise, you're just being an uniformed fan boi.

Would I buy the HKS above? No. Ani an HKS fanboi? No. However HKS do have a good history of R&D and the rest of their offerings for this platform and many others are pretty much all proven, so why is this any different? This is much better thought out than just a filter on a tube, despite the looks. It is however designed to be a racing intake, so CATs will not be different when the car is moving to the stock intake, however it will clearly heatsoak when in traffic.
