Doesn't look very "Cold Air"

EDIT: :rofl2: @ "4th gear"

It may be prove to be a good intake but to me it seems dumb to have used filters with capped tops since they sit right behind the fresh air ducts in the core support. I know they have versions with filtered tops like this:

Maybe it doesn't make a difference, who knows...

But intakes are made for the engine, so that would actually be correct nomenclature.

Do they retail for 1k?

Has anyone done temperature analysis in these areas? I was under the impression that our cars had passages which led cool air to these areas. I read somewhere that the stock air boxes are already cold air intakes.

Could it be possible that there isn't much of a difference between temperatures in the grill and engine bay due to the 370's design?

this is probably has the same gains as the top secret air intake.

Me too but those gains seem quite optimistic.

ilive2win 04-30-2010 12:31 PM

i have them installed, i like them, but i doubt its gains above 7 hp. i havent done any dyno runs with them installed but def doesnt feel like 14hp. i was one of the test cars used by k&n. great product but i dont think the gains are that much in reality, but i dont feel any heat soak, and the intakes do have heat shields. i didnt want to get any crazy intakes though because i want to maybe supercharge it later, so i went with free intakes :tup:
