Over stock, None as the OEM boxes are sealed to the radiator wall and pull air from outside the bay. Intake Air Temps (IAT's) will run 5-10 degrees over ambient typically, while rolling. That 5-10 degrees, as measured at the MAF, is mostly a function of the airbox and MAF being inside the bay. Both a Stillen G3 and my Custom short rams run roughly the same temps based on reports here. Open element short rams though typically will run 25 degrees+ over ambient. The hose will lower that a bit, but without completely shielding the filters they're still gonna suck a lot of engine bay heat. Mine are shielded and insulated so the impact there is minimal. During very cold weather I've seen the difference from ambient go to 2-3 degrees.
