    meh, get some pvc pipe, paint it, and stick that filter in or near the fenderwell. your intake temps are gonna be hot with an intake like that. my intakes have always been at or 10*+ ambient temps at most

    Fenderwells are for girls and people who like water in the engine.

    Mod it and then go open cone.

    A mist of water in the intake every now and than is not always a bad thing... I.E. Jeep water droplet injection kit to keep the combustion chamber steam cleaned and running good.

    lol if you're not gonna suck up water with an intake at the top of your fenderwell. I had one with no problems. Water cannot pass through that filter unless you completely submerge the thing in water. Water droplets cannot pass through the material and the oil coating it

    water droplets will get through, i've never sumerged my FWI and you can see the water marks inside the intake tube.

    Chopped it off now I have a 4" short ram.

    thats why anyone that runs a REAL FWI is dumb for not running a smaller inline filter in the middle just in case the bottom end gets straight water....dduuhhhh.

    kinda along the same lines.. but would heat wrap around the intake tubing help keep temps low or just skip that step and do a heat shield?

    or both?

    Fender well intakes and true cold air intakes keep the temperatures down compared to an open cone. I believe w-body store or zzp, someone tested the different in intake air temps and open cones run about 70 degrees hotter than something that's sealed off away from the heat. Add that to your supercharger heat and you're creating knock, maybe to the point where it's not helping at all as far as performance but just to your ear!

    Been buying/making/fabricating intakes for probably longer than you've driven a car son. I guarantee if you put an aeroforce on a factory intake setup it has less knock than an open cone. I'll supply video evidence if you need it! You're inlet temps for an open cone roughly 144 degrees. Close it off and cut it in half! 144 degree intake air temps, nah I'll pass on that. Not to mention if an open cone filter setup was so great makes you wonder why they didn't put it on for a factory setup, let me help you it creates more knock which in turn takes away reliablity of your vehicle.

    Of course this is coming from the same guy that gives me **** everytime I post here and we already know you have attitude/personality problems. Why I don't post here often so I don't have to hear your stupid mouth.
