Actually the reason it was burning hot was due to the engine being off and sitting in a hot engine bay. Air traveling through the pipes will result in a much cooler pipe, and the speed at which the air travels really doesn't allow for much heat dissipation into the air charge..

Location of the air source can be a consideration on intake temperature for sure. That being said, I believe it's EDIT: wstar who has heat shielded the entire Gen 3 intake path.
