There filters on the Stillen Gen 3 are way out in front of the radiator, inside the upper part of the front bumper. They're not directly getting heat from the engine bay at all out there, although they probably do pick up a little heat from the radiator and/or any oil cooler.

I have a bunch of parts in my garage to do a Modshack-style ducting job to bring outside air directly to the Gen 3 filters, we'll see if it makes any difference. I don't plan on trying to seal over the filters like he did though, I'm just going to route the tubing to dump cold air right on top of them.
