I was testing to see how much the CAI with a full metal shroud would heat up as vehicle sits with engine on.
Now I wonder if anyone has tried the same test on factory air box and seen if air intake temp increased in it too?
If factory air box does not cause air intake temp to heat up as much as this Dinan CAI has then I see less benefits to the CAI yet again.

I would expect that the air temp would increase with any system. I would be surprised if it didn't. CAI is for performance. Doesn't matter what happens to air temp idling at a stoplight.
