or is it because the intercooler does a better job that you don't need the cone by the fender???? im not sure.
Your 2nd question is the answer to you 2nd question. You don't notice any difference between the FWI and open cone when your car is modded like mine, EXCEPT for in-town stop and go traffic. You might notice the car get a little sluggish after your underhood temps get really high. I ran both types and stayed with the FWI. It's more consistent on my car. I don't need the flow of the open cone. Intercooler trumps the FWI anyday for cool intake temps. If you have a FSIC, it will cool the AITs of the open cone without a hitch.
