I prefer not to trade my efficient factory external cold air ram intake for one that gets it's air from inside the engine bay. I have seen them make some glory numbers on the dyno with the hood open and fans blowing on it, but in the real world/everyday driving, they suffer from heat soak and compromise engine performance.
