I'll just add... any of these cold air intake systems dont require you to cut any holes in teh fenders, cause the hole is allready there... cause that's where teh stock box intakes from... so teh cold air kits just use the existing air route... and like others said, they are usulay metal, wich absorb heat as well. granted they look cool.. dont get me wrong.. but I think the performance advantages are nill, though technicaly the smooth surfaces allow for better flow over the stock accordian tubes, so that's where you see any power adding.. but you can get replacment tubes for you stock setup..
I guess I'm not FOR or againt them, but aside from looking cool, they do free up a little space.. so with all the facts in place.. you dont gain much performance but you do gain other things... so it's mostly just an asthetics thing...
