it did not completely cut itself off from the hot air from the engine and actually was worse then the stock air box. In fact most are not better than the stock air box with a k&n drop in filter

Normally causes a loss of hp. The second version is better, but the stock airbox is pretty hard to beat.

I just dont get so many people's logic that stock means junk.
