[Red Mustang Gt 46]

Since your moving about 70% of the time, engine compartment heat probably would'nt affect performance. Before my C&L 80mm, I modified the air silencer by cutting some of the end off to enlarge the hole, I then placed a 4" pvc pipe in it - to extend into the fenderwell, never had any problems and it revved RPM's a little quicker.

Try it, you can always put it back in (non-modified).
