[QUOTE="metaman, post: 9953593, member: 23647"] You guys are on crack if you think that the intake being up near the fire wall will not have a negative effect on the temperature of the air going into the filter. I own an 03 cobra and it has got an intake temp sensor just after the air filter and also just after the intercooler. I used to run just the strait in the engine compartment air filter with no shield. Then one day I plumbed up a cold air duct from the fog light bezel and compared the air intake temps before and after. During the summer both air intake temp sensors measured 15-20 degrees hotter before the cold air mod I did. And that was with the filter way up in the front of the engine bay. The intercooler being part of the system does not negate the higher initial intake temperatures associated with having the air filter basically perched right above the exhaust headers. The intercooler takes whatever temp air goes into and out of the supercharger and reduces its temperature by a percentage of the original charge air temp. So if you start out with 100 degree air going into the filter as apposed to 80 degree air (cold air source) then you end up with 20 degree hotter air after the intercooler. The procharger guys screwed the pooch on this one. That is a huge design flaw. No way in hell I would put that set up on my car. [/QUOTE]
