I believe there isn’t any real benefit from it while you are moving ...maybe very resistant while stopped ...the stock boxes aren’t really “bad” just a eye sore IMO. But I believe the best gains are from the pipes that locate the filters in the bumper area

You could always add a methanol kit if you wants to get the temp down in the intake lol

One other side bene of intakes is that it's a billion x easier to get to the drivers side headlight adjustment screw in the event you've upgraded bulbs and need to tweak the beam height.

Speaking of CAI in the bumper, I just installed the Z1's on mine and I have a bit of a n00b question.

Since the filters are up behind the bumper, do they really get that much air flow? It seems the majority of the "forced" air comes in by the radiator, lower on the car.

Not a noob question at all. They get more than the stock boxes. Sway has a decent mod in his build journal that forces more air to the filters. Super cheap to do too. I'd check it out.
