New Intake or Just A Bunch of HOT Air?….You Decide

the aftermarket products are offering some kind of metal buffer that acts as the air box.
common sense tells me, that the air inside that box, will be hotter then the OEM plastic box.
best solution IMHO, will be to fabricate some kind of a fiber glass box with multiply layers and isolation material.
not an easy job, especially when a lot of people (just like JFP) say it will result without significant results (if at all) in performance.
on another hand we have this thread:

also check out this tread, and have a look at post # 127, might give you some ideas.

The aftermarket intakes come with a plastic shield/box .

My bad.
Looks like folded metal sheet in the pictures.
Would have been nice if someone will dyno test it before and after ( like iwith the deshnork mod). Do you have one on your car JD?
If yes, what is your impression?

I have the Evolution Motor Sports intake on my vehicle. And, to answer your question, yes I've dynoed my vehicle after the intake was installed. However, this coincided with the installation of a few other mods at the same. So, it's difficult to estimate just exactly what hp gains can be attributed to the intake. My guess is that the actual gains are minimal. Maybe 3 to 5 hp if any. But, the sound it produces is just ripping ! I guess that alone made it worth while.
