Cold Air Intake Systems

I was told that cold air systems dont work good on our cars becuase they go down towards the wheel well where it sucks in hot air coming off the payment then having to travel far before reaching the engine... Now i dont really believe this but do you guys have any input on whether or not they work like they say?

"Hot" air off the pavement > Hot air from the engine

Lets see.... warm air off pavement vs hot sauna-like air from under the hood.

I'll take the warm air off the pavement please...

When your driving at 55 mph you are gunna get cooler air then whats on the ground and besides with a CAI it opens the airflow up some compared to stock air boxes.

Injen was good until mine had a hole rubbed in it (due to a known issue and tight fitment) and Injen refused to respond to me. They do have a new version out now but it's still upsetting that they ignored me.

Oh well, I'm in on the RAW group buy!
