Actually, this is a bit skewed. The AIRAID unit has about 1-1.5 inches of space between the mouth of the box and the portal to the front bumper (where the fresh, cool air is). By comparison, aFe has less than a centimeter of space between it's mouth and the portal.

Don't get too hung up on the velocity stacks. The aFe doesn't have a hardcore velocity stack at the mouth, or one in the chamber, and it still outflows the AIRAID unit by an average of 20g/s according to the MAFS. In addition, the aFe pulled in cooler air.
