And for those of you that don’t know how the cold air intake works on my car, it is cold air, since it is sealed off out of the engine bay, into the fender:

Some cars have ‘cold air intakes’ that just end up being hot air intakes, this one was actually designed well to begin with, but… isn’t necessary with a really efficient IC and lots of meth.
