I was onboard the hot air affecting performance band wagon for awhile, but in reality. (Normal Daily Drive) situations I can't see it affecting anything.
If your an extra from Fast a Furious or are on the track every weekend... I really think you need to spend the $$$ to buy a proper tested intake because they make intakes for that purpose. I modified mine to reduce the weight and clean up my engine bay. I really don't think the OEM design was "cold air" intake to begin with. With intake snorkel inlet sitting near the radiator. I also don't think I mentioned anything about it being louder? Or the MAF sensor going crazy. I have no proof my deletion is making power, but I'm almost sure it's not loosing any power also. If your theory is correct I'm sure HKS would be getting letters from angry customer all day long.
