I noticed when it's hot that my low end performance suffers. I think it's because the intake only has hot air to take in. Does anyone else with an intake notice this? I wish there was a heat shield or an easy way to direct cooler air to the intake.. I'm thinking of putting my stock air cleaner back and seeing if it makes a difference.

 

i think it might be in your head? It shouldn't suffer to the point where your losing a significant amount of hp.

I have the stillen intake with no problems

 

I wasthinking the same thing but there a Post a couple of threads down about the Temp in the engine bays during a drive and it was very informative.

 

Oh yeah here it is....
