Hmm. Good points on both sides but still ,anyone have some numbers? Wouldn't cone strapped to the tb flow more air faster in same period of time than cone in fender? And at that rate wouldn't the air be moving and gone so fast that the difference in temp would be negligable? This is why I need some data. Although I think I am going to go open cone anyhow. You guys got me wanting to hear the whine now. If manufacturers did lots of things the way we wanted the cars would be great for us but they would loose sales to the customers who don't care about their car. That's why there isn't a intake/exhaust/ performance chip etc already in from factory. Unless you buy a vette or something then their is likely something to change
