Air Density is a topic that Gale Banks has professed for over six decades. The volume of the air your engine inhales does not determine its power output. Air density does. Air density is the amount of air within a given volume and is determined by pressure, temperature, and humidity. The greater the air density, the more power the engine will make. An exposed air filter under the hood is great as long as the hood is up and it's able to draw cool dry air. But once the hood is closed, the air it inhales becomes superheated which is far less dense. An open-air filter may increase the engine's sound, but it decreases performance. A real "cold air intake" is one that actually draws in cold air from the vehicle's exterior. And a better intake is one that utilizes vehicle velocity to ram that cool air into the enclosed airbox's inlet. It's time intake manufacturers stop selling intakes that hurt performance. No more open-air intakes!
