How does it pull air from outside the engine comparment? I was looking at the airbox setup and there is no way its pulling in air from anywhere else other that the engine compartment! Well at least that's the way it is on my 4.6! In order for the system to pull air from outside it needs to be either right behind the bumper grill, or fed via a duct that takes in air from outside.
I'm still going to try the mod I suggested, to see if there are any significant changes, even if it is good or bad, you never know till you try. As far as I can see in order for a system to be truly CAI it needs to be getting air from outside the bay.
