This looks like a great idea. I wish we had dyno proof of how effective the mod is. Seems to make sense to me though.

probably also why the bottom of our gas tanks have it...to keep the tank cooler

ECU should keep airflow stoichometric regardless of the air density/temp... i.e not worrying about riding up the mountain... SO shouldn’t much matter if the air is hot or cold. Therefore any performance you 'feel' is probably the engine running slightly cooler, so maybe a smidgeon of difference... Anyone else? Or am I way off in left field?

not to discount the work on this mod but....
the power gain (if any due to the fresh air intakes) would come from improved air density.. I think you would be hard pressed to measure any improvement..

just run a thermometer at the air horn before and after... my guess? less than 1 degree at anything out of first gear.. if you spend a lot of time in stop and go traffic, you might see a power increase.. (like you need it there)
This type of mod on cars is not uncommon but the air intake systems are usually under the hood and more likely to be pulling 150 degree air..
