Default Sucking in cold air

iv added a air conditioning air duct connecting to my air box (3" fits perfectly) to lower right bumper thingy...(where the fog lights go)

my filter gets dirty a little faster but at least im getting cold air now. also i lost the deep Short ram intake noise too...i had the snorkle pipe off.
iv noticed my air box running colder instead of heating up from the headers.

dont know if this improves anything but i like to think so...like driving at night more now.

CAI next...

If you want even more airflow, just take out the little fender grille thing down there in the lower corner. It pops out and lets air directly into that chamber.

only way you could maybe even see if there is a difference is if you hooked up a scanguage and tried to see a noticible differnce in your intake air temperatures, which in my car is between 5 and 10 degrees above ambient air temperatures.

i dunno man. this seems like asking for your motor to get hydrolocked. i already get nervous in the rain just with my TRD CAI, and that's with a bypass valve too.
