I agree with the fully enclosed filters isolated by heat shields helping with heat soak prevention. And then coupled with the fact that material they used for the tubing reduces intake temps as well. I have popped the hood several times after pulling into my garage after a drive and everything in the engine bay is warm/hot to the touch but the AEM intake tubes still feel cool to the touch. If it is cool on the outside of the tube it has to be cool on the inside.
