It does both. The only reason it holds the heat inside the header, it because that that's where the heat starts from in the first place. It does just as well keeping the heat at bay from the other side of the fence. Not to mention that you're always going to be circulating cool air into the tube from the inside of the fender, to ensure that the charge doesn't get "stale".stonegod85 said:
Not hot while you're constantly moving, but when you're sitting at the track or in traffic, with the heat radiating from the superheated ash vault and sucking nothing but hot stagnant air from the engine compartment.....I'm sure every effort you make to keep the air as cool as possible is going to help.deftsound said:
Like I said , something a little scientific. check intake and engine temp, make a run without piping through fender or headlight out. make a run at the same temps with the headlight in or without the piping,( stock style) . I don't doubt that you ran faster, was it because they are not as good as you, the car itself, or the mod to the intake?mogs01gt said:
lmao that is too much work. Im too busy watching the fast cars and the chics with the tight asses go byforpit2000gt said:

But this isn't taking into account all of the other varriables! Driver error, track conditions, variations in temp, etc, etc. The only sure fire method to prove this is to simulate exacly the same circumstances and run them back to back on the engine dyno. Seems like a lot of work to see an additional 1-2hp to me?forpit2000gt said:
to bad if you use the "ram" type setup with a pipe behind the fog light, the dyno can never reenact the effect of accelerating through hot air or cold air.Gearbanger 101 said:But this isn't taking into account all of the other varriables!
