Well thats what i was thinking of doing, but then i didnt want to go thru the bother of messing with ram pipes if it wasnt really going to do much difference than a standard box would.

So what im getting from this is yes, i was correct about the hot air being sucked in, but then if i run a cold air feed from the front of the car direct to the PiperX filter, this would be better still?

Ok then, another question... Vector style filter or standard cone with silver lid style?

Vector:


Standard cone:


Also, would one of those air filter shields be worth the money? Im guessing that would help with shielding some of the hot air?
