It is sucking air in after the air went through a hot radiator.

It looks like it hasn't done anything but replace the stock tubes that ran beside the radiator, with filters behind the radiator. I would think this would be worse than stock due to hotter air. Maybe replacing stock filters with these cones provide a slight improvement but placement henders it. Just my opinion but it doesn't seem worth the time or money. Cheers

Ditto on Mimi. Bigger tubes better cooler air. Behind the radiator a bit warmer. Extend even rubber tubes in front and you'll get cooler air. mine are awesome for the NA. As much as this one will ever see. the next will be an 8 at least then we'll talk from there. Thanks Beaner
