[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 13851064, member: 155561"] Havent looked at many Aftermarket intakes have you? They are placed in a box using the factory snorkel, similar to the factory box, and use weather stripping to seal against the hood. Basically the key difference is you now have an open element filter with a much larger surface area vs a (arguably) more restrictive panel filter. I believe these seal out engine heat quite well but seeing as how i dont have an SCT yet to monitor IAT i cannot back that up. Again, the filter is the main difference between the two intakes and aside from the larger diameter, debatable performance aside, it certainly cant be WORSE than stock. I also have a '13 with the hood vents so maybe im not quite as worried about engine bay heat as most. [/QUOTE]
