Plumbing the intake snorkels through the bumper to the outside air would be the only truly effective treatment for this phenomenon, by my reckoning.

Thanks for the input. Some form of CAI is phase two.

Once you get "normal" air flow, about how long does it take to cool insulated metal tubes back down? Seconds? Minutes? Do you know if the stock plastic tubes would cool down faster or slower?
