its not the pipe heating up, open you hood,look at you TB and look underneath it, bam, crossover... heats up the tb.
and blue im always sitting at lights, so probably why i like my cold air intake better lol.
Hot air would actually be better while sitting at a light. you dont need any power, so you can use less gas with hot air. hot air=less dense air=less gas. Probably not noticeable though.
