You don't get it. There is no cool air in an engine bay. The OEM air intake system is totally better then any silly AFe pod filter set up. The OEM air intake system get its "colder" air from in front of the coolant radiator where positive pressure is developed when you are driving. 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.
