The dyno results that have come out of technosquare are definitely different from results we've seen, and by the numerous others on this site, so it's hard for me to speak directly regarding that article.
Fresh air is fresh air, and obviously the cooler the air the increased benefit for an air intake system.
We rely on testing to determine results, and we have not tested the benefits directly relating the air intake and vented bumpers. There is a good chance we would not develop this type of product, and here is the reasoning:
1. We could develop a urethane piece that would work great by altering the factory fascia, requiring cutting and altering.. but for a lot of people, making such a significant change to their factory fascia would be a turnoff, and would require at least some proficiency of a body/paint shop to make sure cutting and installation were successful.
2. We could design a complete fascia with built in air passages for this reason, but a complete fascia brings the price way up, and the rest of the design would need to be one that was popular. Creating a urethane mold is an extremely expensive process, but one that nets the highest quality part, and volume sold is the only thing to bring that balance back.
Anything is possible, and we're open to what you the owners are looking for..
