I haven't read anything about losing gains, except an article back in 2005. It was discussing if Hot air would get in and cause a decrease in power. More post have supported it than have condemed it. But as i said in the op, "this mod is mostly for sound".

Now you have peaked my interest that this may be detrimental to mpg and power. I need to do some research on it. I see the potential for power gains as you have less restrictive air flow, but then the other side has merit with their hot air versus cold air theory.
