I really doubt the underhood temps. would cause an aluminum intake shroud to burst into flames... this thread on the other hand though... :D

I have the Rotary Extreme intake & it uses aluminum for the intake shroud & I have had no issues with it.

Power Steering Fluid...probably the most flamable substance in most engine bays...Thankfully, RX8 owners don't have to worry about that
