When you're at speed, there is significant passive airflow through the kidneys into the engine bay, so the intake isn't sucking in hot air that's "sitting" in the engine bay.

People fail to realize that while a CAI is a great intake, it also makes you much more susceptible to hydrolocking your engine if you live in an area that floods occur.

To each's own though
Really? I thought the consensus here was that DCI's provide extra power for the street and the drag races, but for track use, since you've got sustained high heat generation under the hood, DCI's weren't recommended? (and a CAI or Helix style was best)
