CAI for sound but worried about heat soak

[Oxln]

I want to buy a CAI for sounds mostly, I don’t plan on tuning for a while. However, I am scared because I live in FL and summer will be a bitch.

Most cais show no significant amount of raised iats

Buying a hot air intake for sound is like running a 225 section on a 10" wheel, it reduces performance for the effect. What is your preference, show or go?

I'm actually looking at the BMS Cai or one that retains the lower half of the factory box. The thing I don't like about the kn there are two sections of pipe.

I've had the Injen one for over a year now, and no issues with build quality or anything. I believe it's cheaper than the other options as well, or at least it used to be.

And it makes really fun turbo sounds for the inner child

tape it with heat reflective tape

It's been argued once the air passes the turbo and through the IC the IATs are similar.

My thought is this:

-LMS race cars used closed systems. (Rule book required or not)
-I would rather have more dense air entering the turbo compressor.

In the past I have had to change my tune (reduce timing) on N/A cars because of the hot air picked up from open intakes. They were such a negative hit, I have stayed away since even with a turbo and IC in the mix.

Something like for a stock look

S&B may be a good option for you to look into. Closed intake system with ability to be semi open for extra sound. Best of both worlds possibly.

If you want to try out an intake grab one from the classifieds. Plenty in there for sale all the time.

Does this stuff actually work well? not a fan of the gold engine bay bling but thinking about putting this on my MAPerformance intake pipe. It's SS and during warmer weather it was getting hot. Ended up taking it off and putting stock box back on. Realized i was missing the sounds after i put it back on in the colder months.

ive been running the cts for almost 3 years no issues. However I am considering selling it or trading it for a closed intake...im over the whole turbo noise shenanigans
