I was being facetious in my previous post - there are many on this board who have stuck some aluminum tubing on the intake, routed it next to the engine and fitted a cone filter on the end and called it a "Cold Air Intake" - which I personally find hilarious... while that system may get you increased airflow, it certainly won't have a lower temperature than the stock setup.
I agree, being an "aluminum" tube it may even be warmer. But the increased volumn seems to help, even with no other changes.
But to actually gain a cooler air temp, insulation would be needed for sure.
