After seeing fitment of the Evo unit, I can understand how. The Evo is still a far cry better than a lot of "short ram" intakes available for import tuners that replace the factory airbox pulling cold air from the fender with a cone filter sucking hot air directly from the engine compartment.

I have seen some folks fab up a top for the Evo "box" to ensure that air gets pulled through the vent instead of from the engine bay - I may give that a try, and I may also seal up the gaps around the perimeter of the Evo unit to seal it up. Or I may just drive it the way it is for a while.
