Wouldnt removing the snorkel for those intakes also suck in hot air? Maybe that is the reason why multiple dynos show the Airaid losing power. You could kind of compare this with the Perrin CAI that is in development right now since they place the air filter in front of the radiator. This would basically be the same type of concept since it connects all the way through the air box. This design at first never caught my eye until more people did some explaining and after googling other similar intakes for other cars they were right and a lot of high end intakes were similar. Keeping the stock tubing. What more do you expect from an intake set up? You want an air box / filter like the 2 you listed? Both of those intakes barely got any gains. As of right now IMO based on data and what other people are saying a drop in filter/Avo/Zeta silicone tubings are probably the best intake solution at the moment. All the other intakes besides Injen have shown little to no gains at all.
Their is a chance this intake isnt real Carbon Fiber but for what you pay and when paying it states they make it when you order it. Which is how you have to handle most Carbon Fiber made parts. I believe Carbon Fiber doesnt soak up heat either.
Since it is basically an enlarged scoop it would suck more air in without interference / air from the radiator so you get cooler air. I wouldnt be surprised if this got better gains then both intakes you listed since the Aairaid lost power and the AFE gained only a couple HP. I wouldnt expect a Japanese company like Syms to over charge for an intake that loses power. It would tarnish their name.
