he's got a point, the air going to the filter is going to come from the path of least restriction. The snorkel will have air going towards the filters, but its not the only source. If someone would make a sealed system like the OEM system which uses a dual cone setup then you'll have a winner.

Until then I'll stick w/ my UR intake which has 0 chance of sucking in hot air from the engine bay.




also, I havent been following this thread or the others since I simply dont care what these intakes are doing. But was this test done on a tuned car or a stock car? How tuned? Pushing past 360whp~. Flatter me, i'm too lazy to read the 1st page.
