And then there's the risk of introducing hot air while you're at it.

I 100% agree, that an intake by itself, wont give you much.
Exhaust, plenum, throttle body, etc.. are necessary to actually benefit.
And we are agreed as well that heat management is key. Its obvious by the placement and closed nature of our engine bay that, its not enough to just throw in a filter with more direct intake route.
There just seems to be this contention that there is no way to make more power than stock box, which I just cant believe from experience.
