Not to start a war as it relates to this endless debate, but real world data logging on most platforms/vehicles has shown many times - that once a car is moving ambient intake temps between "short ram" intakes and long tubes is much closer than the internet believes it is - and most of the gains found in long tube intakes is primarily credited to intake velocity and air turbulence, not some dramatic drop in intake temperature.
