I also noticed here that there is one owner who has g3's and has the same temp fluxuation as most of us do. So how or why is it benificial for the g3's in comparison to short ram air intakes? Please no character assasination, I might be missing out on a very valuable point but just want some clarification before I pull the trigger on modifying my intake systems. One is sucking from outside the engine bay and one from inside, but we all have collant lines running through the throttle body so that does warm up the air before going into the plenum. So clarification would be greatly appreciated.
