Until we get some guys willing to tape yarn all over their hoods to check airflow at speed, we're just guessing.
Doesn't matter, it works same way the air hits the motor and has to 90* down under the car. Airs light, it can change direction fast just like a stillen CAI bends. Heat rises and the hot air hitting the engine has no place to go but up or down and under the car. Both of which get the heat moving and out with a properly placed vent. And I did the yarn test on mine.
