I bought a Metal K&N CAI (HAI) and kinda got stuck with it (shipping/restocking fees too high to bother with returning) I figured that while I had it, I might as well install it.
Looking at the temps of the Intake, it does get pretty hot sitting or at low speeds, but only a bit over ambient temps over 40mph. (I should of went with the cheaper plastic pipe regardless)
I have insulating wrap and tape, so I figure I'd do some testing with wrapped and unwrapped intake temps. But in the long run, I'm thinking about just going back to the stock air box with a new filter. My only question, there is a hose that needed cut to go to the K&N... Where does it go and what's it called to get a replacement?
Any thoughts on going back to the stock air box?
