I like what you did with your hood, is that intended to keep the intake cool from the suns heat?

Right now I don't know, but it should be around 500hp in the engine. 2bar boost on a borgwarner s254 ;-)

I notice that barely anyone uses the original air intake. Why? Isnt that the best cai? Is it because of the sound?

When I bought my car, it came with a HKS mushroom intake that was deceivingly placed into the intake hose with a huge gap between two parts. My car was essentially sucking in air through this gap. I did some searching and found out that the HKS mushroom filter is the worst of them all. During the process of using plumbing piping to close this gap, I tore my stock intake hose. I did my research, got a replacement Samco intake hose, and bought an Apexi Power Intake. Not only is the Samco hose very durable for when I need to take it out/fiddle with it when I play with my engine, the Apexi Power Intake turns out allows better airflow and filtration than the HKS. (one of the many pages I read about filtration - http://mkiv.com/techarticles/filters_test/2/index.html )

These two items were the first mods I did on my car.

Your current intake will suck warm air from the engine bay, the stock wont. So i just wonder why it is so popular to make a wai (warm air intake) when your stock is a cai.
dyno'd with oem airbox and apexi intake, got 3-5hp more with apexi so not very much effected by the warm air...
