They have high speed dyno fans for wind simulation.

I've done temperature testing at the intake level on several intakes. The AIRAID is marketed as a CAI and was much hotter than the AFE which extends further towards the bumper hole.



This was done in 3rd on the freeway. Now imagine an SRI that sits even further back toward the motor.

*DISCLAIMER* this is just for comparison purposes, I am not trying to say the AFE is the best intake EVAR!
