That looks impressive, did you notice a power difference over how mine was done? The reason I didn't put the filters behind the grill was I didn't see how people were squeezing the piping through there easily, the fact I'd have to spend more money on a tiny filter, and also if you would be able to see a filter behind the grill when looking at the front of the car, which I wouldn't like at all.

As far as the temperature thing goes, the OEM setup puts the entire thing right on top of the engine. It acts like a stove just sitting there cooking the air coming in. The stock airbox gets extremly hot. While you can't do anything to lower the under hood temps, you're still going with a way less restrictive setup, and the piping is away from the engine, so there must be gains. I don't believe anyone who says short rams on these cars don't have any gains at all...
