Short rams, absolutely. But you think that maf tubes and drop ins heat soak dramatically more than a long tube intake? I would think that, since it's still using the stock intake path (drawing air from outside the engine compartment) and it's all plastic/silicone instead of the metal long tubes that it wouldn't show as much of a temperature rise.

Plastic is a pretty crappy conductor of heat, pretty sure the aluminum tubing is going to maintain cooler AIT's across the board
