This is the stupidest shit I have ever read. I imagine that every poor soul that reads one of EVLGTRs posts is stupider for having done so.

Some evidence for you, in going from stock intake (which is akin to an SRI as it takes air from a warm source in the engine bay, although arguably in a better location than an average SRI) to a Gruppe M cold air intake I experienced significant intake air temperature reductions in day to day driving situations. Of the order of 10s of degrees. This is measured using a digital gauge plugged into the OBD2 port.

Now if you accept that the ideal gas law roughly applies to air at the temperatures we are discussing, this colder air temperature at the intake equates to a larger mass of air in the cylinder and hence more power. Why would you deliberately wish to intake warm air into your intake? It can be beneficial for fuel economy, but who cares about that.
