Interesting turn of events..
After adding the second pipe and filter (passenger side), temps are running back in the +20
-25 range over ambient.

Hot spot over there?

This filter-tube setup is from another vender (first one was out of stock with no replinish plans) and it has a larger diameter filter and fit's closer to the radiator shroud so I'm wondering if it isn't pulling more from it since air is "pushed" into the edge...
