well i do have a scan gauge in my box. and surprisingly i thought that since the intake for the air box is a lot closer to the engine block that the intake temp would be a lot hotter compared to where it used to be. but that may be due to the snorkle being at the very top where the heat gets trapped. as for power gains, i have not felt any. but i can easily hear the difference between the snorkle removed with the kn filter compared to the stock set up |

Don't forget to add the duct work coming off the bottom of the airbox running over in front of the drivers wheelwell to feed cooler air. |

| Hot or warm air is better than cold air coming into the intake, if you took the snorkle off that should do. |

Warm-air-intake is an improved MPG thing
Cold-air-intake is an improved horsepower thing. |
