Hot air is hot air. Get your Christmas $$$$$$ and give Rob at Needswings a call... As for sealing up the intake box, it's to keep moisture out as much as dust...
Have to disagree somewhat here Doc.. I've checked temps..(with Torque Pro) One HA intake on the drivers side and OEM on passenger.. gets you within a steady 15 degrees of ambient.. Running both sides "HA" gets temps right back in the stock setup range.. with less restrictions. I cant' slice that any way to be a "loose" over stock. Eventually I'm going to do away with the plastic heat sink and go to the MB covers hanging on the wall.. planning a fiberglass runner from the throttle body to the HA tubes.. Really thinking temps will get back to that 15 deg off ambient again.
