I also never said it wouldn't work or be effective, I just stated that there are inefficiencies to the design, but honestly...those are present in every design I have seen so far.

A big issue with this setup, aside from turbulence, however minor inside the air box, is where the air will be coming from. This engine bay runs very hot. Currently I live in Phoenix, lately it has been 115ish during the days, which puts the engine bay at or over 200 at times, depending on the circumstances. The majority of the air pulled into this setup would be from that engine bay, 60-80 degrees warmer over all than the air outside.

Obviously, without hands on I can't make an informed desicion, just the educated s.w.a.g. Thus, I originally just threw my opinion up there.

I am an enthusiast, just like everyone else here. I want the community to have access to the best possible setups for our cars. If I see an issue, I will call it like I see it, as most of us will. If I was still back east where my shop is, I would have put something together, but I am not. I had to hastily move for a job, and leave it all behind.

That's great, but every test on this car has shown that the engine is making more power with hotter air, rather than a standard CAI.

Plus, the air inside the engine bay in front of the engine is completely equalized with the air in front of the car at around 5mph, per the research I've seen on this car. They aren't going to run into any issues pulling air from where they are.
