Is this a true statement? Did I just waste a bunch of money on something that decreases performance?
I apologize in advance if this a noob question.

The K&N Typhoon utilizes heat shields around the intakes so that heat becomes less of an issue. I would not worry about it if I were you. From all of the reviews and dyno charts I have read, the Typhoon is a decent intake that delivers good additional power. The only negative I have ever heard is that the fitment is a little difficult.
