That positive pressure forces the "colder" air into your stock intake. Removing that OEM system and placing a pod filter in the engine bay to suck up hot air is simply silly not to mention stupid. Remember, colder air equates to better combustion. It is just physics. Not rocket science.
An entertaining video for you.

You know you're taking this a bit personally when you pull out a daihatsu and compare it to a 2014 BMW, which is also 'silly' as you put it because they're still utilizing the stock system and a Tenzo R filter if you didn't just FF the video. If you're going to insult peoples intelligence with proven dyno charts I probably wouldn't start there. Also can you please explain why Ford Engineers of the SVT team provided the GT500 with a stock CAI system rather than a closed box on their FI engine with aggressive tuning due to more airflow is actually proven to produce more power regardless of the antiquated argument of "it's hot air" due to cooling methods incorporated in high performance FI cars now. I'd really love see you pull that specific car up and explain why the engineering team one of the most powerful mass produced V8's apparently got lucky or aren't smart because they didn't use a boxed off system to start.
