What is THIS black box near the filter that hinders the heat shield installation?

I just installed a K&N intake system this afternoon and had zero issues with said black box. I will get pics tomorrow and post them. Hope I can be of service to you.
P.S. Just to clarify, I have the black box and got around it, you are not alone...

Well, my digital is dead so no pickeys. Basically, there is enough room between the cars metal and the box. You apply gentle force and it slides right in.
A question for you. Did you kit have the right sized hose clamps? I had to go to Lowe's to find the correct one for the throttle body. the one included was just shy of being big enough. also, did you kit have a long narrow rubber tube that was not used in the install?

The black box is the OEM driving data recorder - used to record specific car performance parameters. It is also used to study road safety issues, material degradation, and engine performance. They are often used as an aid in investigating car accidents.

Wonder why everyone doesn't have this black box.

Not sure which "black box" you're referring to, but all 2IS's have the EDR.

Follow up from MYIS350!
Hi. I appreciate everyone's input and thoughts into this matter. THe problem has been solved. During the first try of installing the intake, I guess I was being too careful. But now, I've successfully installed the heat shield. That thing sounds AWESOME!!!
For those need closer pictures of the black box, here it is.
ooops, my pic files are too big that it won't let me upload it. Can someone tell me how to decrease the file size? Thanks!

I was joking. I took the definition from the airlines' black box. Nowadays, the black box is actually red.
The Event Data Recorder was a surprise for me thou. More info is available in the manual (section 5-1, page 337)

No so long ago a drunk driver killed someone and got convicted solely by the EDR box inside the car. The court ordered Ford (I think) to give the data as a witness.

Here's the official scoop on the EDR - and yes, it can be used as evidence and if you google EDR you'll see there is significant case law already on EDR data. As you can see, Toyota believe they also own the data. I do not believe this is true in California, but I don't know about other states.
