Just curious. Has anyone ever had a SRI and ran a cold air feed to it? The stock intake system has the inlet tube in the fender wheel where it draws in cool air. I'm going to say that nearly every member on here has some kind of aftermarket intake system. If you don't have a GMK, or NPG CAI then this would apply to you (granted you have a short ram). With the open air filter sitting in the engine bay it's subject to getting heat on it period, right? You can't really get around it. Especially depending on outside air temperature anyhow. You may not realize how it actually affects the engine. There's a lot of science behind cold air and why it's better for your engine
Nobody seems to get really technical about the intake system, how it works, why some materials are better than others, or ideas to make it better so I thought it'd be a cool thread. Constructive ideas only please. Kthx
I'll probably do this to my car really soon.
Here. This is kind of the idea. I don't know about that thing around the filter but you definately see what I'm getting at - force feeding some good cold constant air to the filter. I imagine the cold air feed on our cars would come from the fender area just like a true CAI would..
