It may be prove to be a good intake but to me it seems dumb to have used filters with capped tops since they sit right behind the fresh air ducts in the core support. I know they have versions with filtered tops like this:

Maybe it doesn't make a difference, who knows...

But intakes are made for the engine, so that would actually be correct nomenclature.

Do they retail for 1k?

Has anyone done temperature analysis in these areas? I was under the impression that our cars had passages which led cool air to these areas. I read somewhere that the stock air boxes are already cold air intakes.

Could it be possible that there isn't much of a difference between temperatures in the grill and engine bay due to the 370's design?
