to actually get more power would take a considerable amount of colder air to register on the inlet temp sensor for the ecu to adjust to add more fuel. the fact the inlet runs behind the engine and under it at the back counter acts all the cold air your feed will give you.

yes but the plastic pipe runs behind the hot engine, between the block and also the firewall carpet shite. it will retain the heatsoak that it always did. it takes a lot to cool something down compared to warming it up in an engine bay.
as soon as you let your car idle, or stand still it will begin to retain heatsoak through your pipework. its just the way it is.
cold air feeds and such like really do not give the benefits the box they come in lead people to believe.
