Be thankful you dont have the money, apart from bling I cant see at this time what it will do for the engine. The black plastic box will easily do as well and be far better at keep heat out of the airflow than the metal item which will be as hot as hell after a few minutes

On my old car I used fibreglass matting on the underside of the water-to-air intercooler to keep the heat soak to a minimum. You could do that to the intake chamber if you wanted.
