Colder air is, of course, better but not if it means that the turbos have to work harder to suck it in (and, in doing so, produce even more heat).

The AFE stuff is pretty, but the filters are small and I'd be especially concerned about the restricted flow from the enclosed version.

Now we have a valid argument on the table, thank you. What you explained makes sense, however (and no offense to anyone), I would truly like to see back to back testing results all other factors being equal. Even cross-comparing multiple products to OEM would be good.
