I will have to go with Lee on this one. When I first got my GTX, I removed the SLP's Ram Air box infavor of my old Thrasher CAI. When Reptile came up from KC one Saturday in July we went out for a tune of my car and he was reading my Air temps and the Trasher did not help reduce the air temps from the CIA to the TB. I dont know if this is a poor design on Thrasher's part or what? But I know Alex, who use to have a Thrasher as well experienced the same issue.

I know for myself I switched back to the SLP Ram Air Box and just heat wrapped the bottom portion of the box to help with heat resistance, but I have yet to get any good scans done to see what the differences are, but given the current season I'll have to wait till warms up a bit

I had a goofy idea of gutting the side of the SLP box, which already had slits in it to draw from the fender well, all be it a distance from the actual wall of the fender and air box, but I was thinking of running a bit of a longer PVC piping to extend the filter outside of the Air Box to reach into the fender well to try and draw in more "fresher" or "colder" air than what is inside of the engine bay. But Jason77 said the benefits would be minimal at best. So I scrapped that idea.

So I just decided to move AIT sensor to one of the corners of the air to get a better air reading of air coming in from the Ram Air port and the actual filter instead of what is coming in at the TB connection. (see pic below)
