thats literally sitting though like if i were to leave my car idling in a parking lot for 30 mins, when i start moving at low speeds, i usually sit anywhere from 20-40 above ambient and when moving at high speeds im anywhere from 10-20 above ambient

Regardless of when it happens, it's still bad. All of those temps are dramatically higher than what you would be seeing with a CAI or the stock intake.

very true, so i guess i should first figure out what my AFR is via dyno, then after that(assuming AFRs are the same as what i have been seeing) relocate filters to the outside of the engine bay then tune or test pipes(all of the PM's i have received regarding tuning offer free updates with tunes) depending on what i decide to do first

That's about right. Figure out if you're logging good data first, then go from there. I hate to say it, but just moving the air filters may not do anything as far as your AFRs go. That's more a function of the size of the MAF housing. Maybe a tune can scale it correctly. Even then, if airflow through the MAF housing is very turbulent, it still may be very inconsistent and hard to tune for. There's more to intake design than welding a MAF tube up and slapping on a filter. Where the bends are and the radii of them are very important to airflow, and it's not likely that ebay parts makers are doing anything besides slapping a tube and filter together. I'd bet good money that you would see more power, lower IATs and more consistent performance from a stock airbox on the dyno than an ebay intake. Or cut the MAF tubes off your stock airboxes and DIY up a CAI like others here have done.

these are replica fujita intakes and not just some ebay special intake that was given to me(as i found out recently, via youtube and google)

here are the Fujita intake

It's your car. If it were mine, I'd ditch the eBay replica and either buy or make a real cai, or go back to stock airboxes with maf hoses and drop in filters.

Wouldn't I have thrown a lean code by now if I was running lean?
