Are you saying the metal tubing is heating up? You've got a point there...the Gen3's might be more effective if the tubing was plastic. The filters are in a great position already (out of the engine bay). However, when you're running, the air is traveling pretty quickly through that area, you do you think it actually has a chance to warm up significantly in that second or two that it takes the air to enter the plenum?
